JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 12:23 pm Not really an expert but going by the bustline, that is a C1. I don't believe that there was a C1a in 1876. Report this Post to the Staff

Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 2:42 pm Ok Thanks. There is definitely a gap between the bust and the beads when looking at it in hand. The tip of the bust must be wore off. C1 it is. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1352 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 2:44 pm All the circulation strikes were C1. Two specimen strikes in C1A, one struck in copper-nickel and one struck in bronze are known. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 4:34 pm And, as Bosox above says, all the regular circ strikes were Obv 1's. The specimen strikes (and Bosox has at least one) were 1A and also had no H mintmark on the Reverse. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1352 Posts	Posted 12/18/2016 5:05 pm Actually, the 1876 with no H were all C1A, with maybe about 6-10 struck. I was referring to the 1876-H specimens. I know of the two mentioned above with obverse C1A. I own an 1876 no H specimen, and the bronze 1876-H specimen in C1A. The copper nickel in C1A is in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.
