Trying to do some research on this 1872
IHC, but I don't have any of Rick's literature :(
I like the weakness of the strike from the date all up through UNITED.
What I don't get is the extremely localized weakness on stateS.
Wouldn't the E be affected, or the front feather?
And wouldn't the obverse show a strong strike 180 degrees from the weak strike on the same side of the coin? If you know what I mean?
since I don't have a Snow reference, I don't know if this would count as an S variety...
looking forward to hear from the experts on what you think, since I'm not a huge
IHC collector.
thanks in advance
