Reverse @ about 2 o'clock. Plus, what's up on the obverse? The "D" in United, and the beginning of "States" looks like fine pitting.

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 8:45 pm Might be a die crack, pretty sure it is. Not an expert on the series (I only have 4 IHCs), but it doesn't look that much like a proof to me IMHO. But, what do I know Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 10:03 pm There are only 3 die pairs for 1877 IHC proofs. All have the bold N reverse. I believe that this is die pair #3. Pieces struck from this die pair were only struck once and have thin denticles especially on the right side of the obverse. The weak strike make it very difficult to identity coins from this die pair as proofs except for certain markers for the die pair, such as the date position and very small die lumps on the neck. Could possibly be a die crack on the reverse but Snow makes no mention of it. Report this Post to the Staff
