SpareHuman Valued Member Sweden 135 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 3:59 pm Perhaps easier is said then done, I'm curious if anyone can make a positive ID. 186...? The bottom coin of the four here... http://i.imgur.com/o56BZyV.jpg An extreme close up pic for maximum potential identification! http://imgur.com/UBNkCfp I suspect that it's probably a 1860, but there's always that chance. Much appreciated all. Edited by SpareHuman 03/21/2014 5:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 7:36 pm I suspect it to be an 8, if you look at the other 8 as a template. You can see a similar inverse 7 shape and where the top left of the bottom loop would meet up you can see a small potential link. The more I look the more I see an 8, I just can't visualise another number being there. I can't see it being a zero because the lining up of it wouldn't add up in my opinion. I'd await others opinions to to see what they make of it. Report this Post to the Staff
Susuman Pillar of the Community United States 595 Posts	Posted 03/21/2014 9:58 pm Hard to tell, but it looks like either an 8 or a 9. In the case of a 9, I am thinking of using the adjacent 6 as a template and flipping it vertically. The bottom loop does not quite look closed on the left side like an 8 would be. It doesn't look like a 0 to me though. It is a shame that there is damage to the coin.... Report this Post to the Staff
SpareHuman Valued Member Sweden 135 Posts	Posted 03/22/2014 02:50 am The damage is frustrating, but if it weren't for the damage, I would probably not own this now. It was included in a auction lot of heavily circulated 19th century US coins. It strikes me that this series is under appreciated and under researched. I do hope that it's a '69... The circulated ones are extremely rare from what I've read and it would really make this coin quite special to me (despite its flaws). Question is... Is this even identifiable by a TPG? To compound the issue a bit further... I live in Europe. Appreciate the replies. Other opinions are absolutely welcomed! Report this Post to the Staff
