westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 06/24/2014 4:46 pm Looks like this one was polished, I see clashed and die cracks too, still a cool find, though both cracks and clashes are fairly common with the 3CN series. Looks to grade around VF20. Can't beat a coin like this from a junk bin. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

I can't tell from the pictures but does it also have Longacre doubling? I find that where there are cracks, Longacre doubling seems to follow. Report this Post to the Staff
