SHALLOW N!! WOOHOO!! This purchase was a homerun then, even if it was slightly overgraded....well maybe not a homerun, but the shallows are worth a bit more in general aren't they?

AU55 Shallow N looks like that clashing has just about made this die terminal, very cool.

It's a really nice example! The dies for this year were plagued with problems--breaks are common. Also, I wasn't sure if this coin has a DDR--there are a number of DDRs for this year. What caught my attention was the thick top serif of the N in ONE.  |

Very nice pickup for the price! The "shallow N" variety is slightly scarcer than the "bold N" for 1870. There is also a doubled die reverse for the date 1870 where there is a combination of the bold and shallow types.
The date 1872 has a shallow N variety which is much scarcer than the 1870 shallow N.
The date 1871 is extremely rare with the shallow N reverse. An MS 64 RB just went for sale for $7500!!

My first thought was AU-58. I guess I was too late. Congrats on getting a high-grade rare variety! For that price on top of that!

Thanks Redrider on the information of the shallow N vs. BOLD N. So at this grade, do you see any price increase based off of the fact that it is a shallow N? The RedBook gives marginal increases in the range of $50 or so in the AU range. Do you think it is fair to say that this coin is valued at $50 more than an equally graded 1870 Bold N? |
