The last 7 is gone but the is a slight indication of a number. This indication slants like a 7 maybe.... What do I do? I'd put up a picture but I don't have the camera... any suggestions?

nonforce1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 3:15 pm I know photos would help but even with the coin in hand it is so hard to see. I sent in a 1922 no D to get it certified and I wonder if they can certify this coin too or should I nick -a-date a copper coin? What do you do to get a high resolution photo of a coin? Thanks for the Welcoming! :-0 Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 3:19 pm No, do NOT nick-a-date a copper coin, or any coin for that matter. It's a form of acid, that will damage a coin. They could possibly sort it, but if the last digit is unverifiable, then they will more than likely give it a details grade/ send it back.

nonforce1 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 4:01 pm I figured I shouldn't acid treat but for I would like to get if certified on way of the other. The angle on the remnants make it either an 1877 or 1875. I guess I am hoping there is a way... This would fill a hole in my collection! Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 4:18 pm Does it have a shallow or bold 'N' reverse? If it is a bold 'N', don't waste your money. It can't be an 1877. If it is a shallow 'N' there still is the possibility, but there are many other dates with the shallow 'N'. Report this Post to the Staff
