GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 1:35 pm G4 - almost at an AG3 if it continued to be in circulation. Small date vs. large date on 1875 5c is easiest to tell by the 1 in 1875 Large date has a very stubby and wide 1. I am very confident this is a Large Date variety. Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 1:41 pm G4, large date, based on how the horizontal lines of the top of 7&5 are inline with the 1&8 Report this Post to the Staff
Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 986 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 1:43 pm It's ever so close to an AG-3 but I think it would grade G-4 at ICCS. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 2:17 pm I agree G4, but just barely. Large date, the 1 is an excellent marker as stated by GregJG. Quote: horizontal lines of the top of 7&5 are inline with the 1&8 Not necessarily useful as a marker, there are a number of small date varieties, at least one of which has the top of the 7&5 in line with the 1&8 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 05/22/2016 2:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 2:24 pm DBM, is that due to die shift? I've used that with how the 7&5 have an upward slant to the right on the small date. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 4:12 pm The 1 and 8 were punched in the matrix, the 7 and 5 were punched by hand into each individual die used. The location of the 7 and 5 will be slightly different for each die used.Each individual die is thus a variety. Some differences are obvious, some not so easy to recognize. There are at least four different small date 75's known. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
