Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 08/21/2014 05:42 am I'm on kind of a budget, so I picked this one up. I hope it is made in the US around 1875, not in China around 2014. :-) Report this Post to the Staff

Bababooey Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 08/21/2014 2:17 pm Thanks for the opinions! I bought this off ebay and the photos were not the best. This may have been unintentional on the sellers part. It looked like some guy just started selling off his personal collection, as there was one coin from each date more or less and a few different series. However given the sketchy pictures and the fact that he has a low # of feedbacks, I am skeptical. What's going on with the obverse surface? IT is corrosion or something else? I like the reverse surface much better. Report this Post to the Staff
