Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/05/2015 2:55 pm Purchased this coin as part of a "damaged/cull" US 19th century lot, but I have my doubts this is actually damaged: Reverse: Obverse: The coin certainly has some problems (hence the massive diso) but I get the feeling that based on the "fuzziness" of the arrows in the lower left side of the reverse, this coin might have been struck through something during minting. Only other possibility I can think of is that somebody dripped something corrosive on the coin, perhaps in an attempt to remove verdigris. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Don't see any obverse doubling or a RPD, so value wise would be AG at best, IMHO. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
