Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 01:30 am Hey Devin, tried some filtering tricks this is what I pulled up. I'm fairly sure last digit is a 3. There was just enough shadow to form an outline. The third looks like an L, the 18 are approximations, nothing there. My only thinking is that these numbers are too high, far from rim, I tried... Looking again, maybe the L is the upright of a 5 and 3 is top of 2, really isn't enough there. Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 03/22/2017 3:42 pm I'm looking through Briggs' Seated quarter images right now. The O on your coin should be located further to the right to match either 1852-O reverse, and I think that can be ruled out with pretty good certainty. The 1856-O 2-B and 1857-O 2-B are closer matches. The position of the O is all over the place in these years, depending on the reverse die. For the common dates people don't differentiate Seated quarters by die pairs. This appears to me to be an example of an 1856-O 2-B based on the Briggs photos. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1856-O-US-S...AOSw44BYSInt "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."
