Pointer #13: I really love this ancient gold coin for its rarity and historical significance, more so than the 1913 nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/25/2015 6:29 pm Well, I'll be darned there, TC. When I first looked at this coin my first thought was that there wasn't enough detail to be certain of a die marriage assignment. Especially since this date has 34 such marriages. But I hauled the Newcomb / Clapp out to see what I could see, and I believe you are absolutely right on your assignment of N-14. As much time as you spend helping others on this forum I didn't want this to set all day without a response for you. I'm really glad that you were RIGHT! Report this Post to the Staff

I was skeptical with the corrosion, but I agree....if it's not an N-14, it'll do 'til one comes along. Nice going. Report this Post to the Staff
