Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 7:02 pm It would be nice if it was an 1885, but the top of the digit looks rounded. I'm thinking 1883 or 1888. Report this Post to the Staff

Omegaraptor Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 7:06 pm 1883. The shape of the bust in correlation with the last digit does not look like 1888. Report this Post to the Staff
captjigga New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 7:53 pm the opening of the bottom of the 3 would seem like too large of a hole to be a 3 to me. I appreciate everyone's tips and viewpoints. Thank you for the suggestions Report this Post to the Staff

captjigga New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 03:42 am was 75 cents in a grab bin. Good grab if it is indeed an 1885, Originally thought it was an 1888. still not sure. Either way worth 75 cents Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 10:28 am It could also possibly be a 1886, I agree try nic a date, best case you got a rarer date, worst case your out 75 cents Report this Post to the Staff
