Also, I've heard of 25 cent pieces of this date displaying an A/V. Has anyone seen this feature on a 10 cent piece? Thanks for looking!

A nice 0/0/0 in the 1870. The A/V crossed my mind too but its a bit of a stretch :) You got it for a ridiculous price...i was going to bid at least $300 on it lol.

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 9:52 pm 300$ was way above my max bid, was very surprised to snag this coin at that price kids, you've gotta love em. Quote: The A/V crossed my mind too but its a bit of a stretch :) So would you say no on the A/V then? I know you've seen many of these. Also, this coin has a few carbon spots. I was wondering if you had any recommendations? Report this Post to the Staff
canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 02/03/2016 10:28 pm I wouldn't touch it (cleaning wise). There is some sort of surface flaw between the N and T in CENTS which may keep it from slabbing in a PCGS holder. I was debating whether the A/V would qualify as a variety. It very well may...but the die is so deteriorated and there's so many die cracks and die chips...that it may not catch on. That's where I was a bit torn on the coin...the surface flaw between N/T (preventing a PCGS slab) and the A/V. Still wish I won it though lol Edited by canadian-varieties 02/03/2016 10:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 03/05/2016 9:33 pm Found this one today at the LCS. Bought it because it is a Narrow 0/0 which is unattributed on the holder and sure enough, it also has an A/V as well! Maybe a new variety?

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 01:50 am Very nice coin! Well there goes one of my secrets. You've shown that there are two types of 1870 0/0s. ;) As for the "A/V"...again...being a die chip at the bottom of the V..it may have a hard time catching on... even the 1872H 25c A/Vs are somewhat mired in controversy..although buyers have shown strong demand for them... Ultimately...the market will probably decide. Gorgeous coins...congratulations! Report this Post to the Staff
