WheatBack Pillar of the Community United States 2850 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 11:33 pm Pretty rough IHC with some corrosion and environmental damage. I've been looking at it too long and need second opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 02:03 am I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Just typical corrosion. Sometimes it eats away at the devices and makes things look sort of doubled when they're really not. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 09:28 am Can't be confident. Even with the corrosion, the nub on the bottom left of the 8 ought to show. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/20/2015 7:55 pm Look for signs of a Cud at about 8 o'clock obverse. Should be evident even with the corrosion. Has to be there for a genuine coin. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 02/21/2015 10:49 am I doubt it very much, but a full photo of the obverse would show us the date position and the Cud at 8-9:00 o'clock if it is there. Report this Post to the Staff
Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 09:22 am I would say most likely not. That bit of corrosion that appears to be a knob is to far to the left. A pic of the full front of the coin would make it much easier to tell. Report this Post to the Staff

Loopy Looker74 New Member United Kingdom 26 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 9:00 pm Take a look on the reverse to see if there is a die break leading upward from the rim (about 7.30 ish) to the wreath point opposite the C of cent or a small Cud over United.If so then thats gotta be a good sign I believe.
