JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 06/19/2018 10:04 pm I just won this coin for $60 in an online auction which is right at or below melt value. It looks to be more than just normal wear to me...thoughts? It also has a mintage of a mere 2900 total coins, making it a scarce coin, so I took a chance on it. Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks The seller also guarantees authenticity, so worse case scenerio, it's worth it's weight in gold. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 06/19/2018 10:47 pm Greaser is a possibility, but gold is fairly soft, so I suspect just circulation wear. Mine looks very similar to yours with the obverse wear of mine more like your reverse wear. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74066 Posts	Posted 06/19/2018 11:21 pm It has been badly dinged up over the years, from circulation wear. It has Post Strike Damage on the rims (happened after it left the U.S. Mint). The metal was pushed over and flattened. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/20/2018 5:31 pm I think it's an 1874. The 1871 had a wider date. Report this Post to the Staff
