RAlex Valued Member United States 57 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 3:35 pm I am surprised that the reverse show more wear than the obverse ? I do not know what bearing the curved 5 has other than a plain 5 ? Thank you for looking ...Rick * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 4:34 pm The popular term for your date is "Fancy 5." As a rule, the plain 5 is worth a little more. Wear commonly shows more on the obverse of a 2-cent piece. I think it's due to the finer details in those devices. There may also be a strike anomaly on your example. Wheat ears on the right show less detail. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 08/15/2019 04:14 am Yep the Fancy 5 variety, This coin almost makes a F12 I think, mostly either a weak strike of grease on the die, but as it is I too will go VG8 and a pretty nice looking VG at that.
