just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/24/2014 8:39 pm Verily sure the first number is a 1. And yes the last one looks like a 7. Now if we think of all the possibilities, the middle two numbers could be almost anything. This means you could have a 1997, 1007, 1237, 1817, etc. In other words without an electron microscope, just to difficult to tell. Report this Post to the Staff

If I could determine the position of the feathers / motto it would make it either 2 possibilities or 3 possibilities. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5172 Posts	Posted 08/25/2014 05:51 am Sorry, but the date is far too curved and spread apart. To the best of my knowledge, the real 1877 date is straight and (relatively) tiny. Report this Post to the Staff
