kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 08:10 am I used to have one. I think there may be several varieties. I ID'ed mine using the Cherrypicker's Guide. They are NOT easy to identify. Mine was MS so there was a lot of details. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21616 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 09:08 am Sorry but I can't see any of the markers for a 8 over 7, especially the broken wing tip. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/19/2019 09:11 am In State A, the small tip of the 7 (where the two strokes meet) should be visible out the field to the NE of the last 8. I don't see that here. Also, a stray tip of a mis-punched digit (or possibly a die chip) should be visible to to the NE and well above the first 8, even higher than the area shown in the OP's first pic. In later states these markers are smaller and less easily seen. This coin is well worn and the denticles in the date area are too far gone to help in identification. Report this Post to the Staff
