Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 10:45 pm Looks bigger than a dime...well you did ask what I thought! If its real, has nice rim Cuds by liberty and America. Not quite sure about how its worn, it maybe OK but...? Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 02/05/2017 11:53 pm It appears to be a genuine example. This is the S-266c, die state IV (late die state) with Cuds over both RTY obverse and MERI reverse, and of R2 scarcity as such. The coin in the picture has substantial porosity / environmental damage, especially on the reverse, but is still quite desirable and would likely have no trouble finding a buyer. I'd grade it VG8 sharpness net AG3 porosity/corrosion and value it around $750 to $1000. Highest leaf is below corner of S - on reverse- that is a key diagnostic - but the REAL test cannot be determined from pictures: does the 0 in the date line up with the O in OF on the reverse? That is why I would be cautious unless seller has both excellent feedback and an ironclad return privilege (14-30 days.)
