I see a coin that looks plated or dipped, with some of it coming off. Opinions or Comments?

My source (Flynn's book) doesn't show a variety with a Cud; you need to find another reference. I can't tell if it's an RPM since there's too much crud in the date. And the black "toning" on the obverse is a real downer (stored poorly?) Report this Post to the Staff

And what are those dark areas on the high points of the coin both obverse and reverse?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/31/2016 09:37 am It looks like a rim Cud to me, but I agree the coin does look like it has been plated as well, long ago. Contemporary to try and pass as a dime? The dime and the Three Cent piece were both the same size 17.9 mm. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4417 Posts	Posted 11/03/2016 09:56 am Interestingly, here's another 1888 cn Three Cent piece with a Cud .... same seller, same price. I prefer this one, clashes and all, as the other example has the appearance of being plated. Report this Post to the Staff
