This coin was advertised as 1875. Do you see this?  |

This is great. With a coin like this you could simply use a felt tip marker and add any date you like.   |

Is it yours? A little Verdicare might make it pop a bit.

It's identifiable as to type so, Poor-1.
Cannot tell what the date is.

Sorry, but I don't think that even qualifies as a cent.  I love Indian heads in all their shame or glory so I'm glad this one found a home. |

I see an unstruck planchet. No grade if the date's not legible. |

No grade if the date's not legible. Unless the date can be identified by the design, for example a dateless 1793 Half Cent (The only left facing liberty cap Half Cent.) If you can identify the type in that case, you've also identified the date. |

True that, and a TPG would grade it in that situation. |

Hey, if we are going to guess, we might as well make it an 1877, put it on ebay and sell it for a couple hundred dollars |

Funny, I tilted the coin in the light and looked at the date with my loop and I can definitely see 187_. I will try a higher resolution scan, that usually makes hard to see dates visible. I can't make out the date. I don't have 1875 in my Whitman Book. I am sure I will get one in a lot at some time.

This is a bit of an inside joke with another coin website, but I once saw this guy from Korea trying to pass off dateless SLQ's as key dates. He'd take a wiped SLQ for say, and then take a stamp and stamp "1921" to the date area, and put the SB at $50....
If he saw this one, he'd take the "1877" stamp and do the same...HAHA!
