Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 7:22 pm Let me add one final remark. Hey Jimmy, you happen to notice the second 7 of 1877S seems in different font? Please do send these in to PCGS immediately for certification. Then if you would in about two months let us know your wonderful results. Be waiting! Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 12/23/2017 7:55 pm The planchet crack at 7:00 is indicative of a cast fake. The metal cooled too quickly, so it cracked. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/24/2017 10:22 am Genuine coins can have planchet cracks as well, so you can't use "It has a cracked planchet" as a reason to condemn it. (But it does have plenty of other reasons.) Quote: Proofs: 1. Normal reverse: Breen-5778. Normal reverse (in contrast to No.2). One in the Katen Sale of June 1993, Lot 91, had flatness on the eagle's sinister claws; areas of unfinished surface at the junctions of the olive leaves, and between the olive leaves and the eagle's tail, also between the branch and the eagle's sinister leg; a whisper of a hairline crack extends from the right curve of R in TRADE horizontally to the adjacent A. It has the hairline crack from right curve of R horizontally to the A Note that Breen gives that description describing a PROOF coin die. Proofs were struck at Philadelphia, your "coin" claims to be from San Francisco. SO Breens description wouldn't apply. Edited by Conder101 12/24/2017 10:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
