I found this in a bargain box of 2x2s at a show yesterday. It grades better than the coin I got off ebay.   |

Nice 1 Kurts but it looks like it had been cleaned a long time ago
Nice find in the bargain bin!

are we talking about the front of the neck?

Thanks all! Amac--yes, I suspected "old cleaning" too. Still, no complaints for $2  of-grampa--yes, on the front of the neck above the necklace there is a base of a 1 protruding, possibly punched there to test die hardness. Edited by KurtS

sorry for the dumb questions, but is it only on this year or are there others?

That's a good question! This one has the highest profile, but there are a few others such as 1873, 1882, 1883, 1888 and countless other digits punched in the denticles of the die--the most common place they tested. Btw, glad you liked that crop of the coin for your avatar! |

Hi, would this be considered a "1 in neck". It isn't as defined as yours in the picture, but there appears to be something at the neck on this one. Image:  ed03_1.jpg24.55 KB |

Hi, I just noticed your post. I see something in the neck, but I think it's different than this variety, since the 1 is always in the same place. If you can show an enlarged photo of that area on the neck, I may be able to give an opinion. |

Kurt, did you mean the one that of-grandpa has? I sure like that one. Brings back memoiries of where I spent many years, and lived the life of a happy man, poor, yes, but HAPPY! None of the BS we have to put up with here in the US! Bravo! Que bonito!

Dick, I haven't seen of-granpa's coin, but I would like to! quote:

Well...I hear a lot of the same Bu Siness is true for Canada and many places in Europe. Too much credit liquidity--and a culture of spending. Take that credit away, and we'll see what happens...  |

Thanks! Something is definitely there, although in that grade I would figure the S-1 mpd would be more prominent.  The position also seems a bit high for the S-1, so it may just be a die gouge? I'd like to see a more detailed photo to say more. Edited by KurtS
