coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2008 12:42 pm It looks like something was applied to the surface. Paint/nail polish/whiteout/Or something else that I haven't mentioned. But the wear on the higher devices and the coating remaining on the fields is normal for a tampered coin. The green stuff is corrosion/patina/left over copper polish. Its not a fake, just showing its age and what it has gone through till now. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/07/2008 1:08 pm Snow-1 is a variety for 1897. For some reason, a 1 digit from the date was punched in the neck, showing below as the base of the number. This is a popular variety, and an easy one to pick up. I found this at a show.
