1871 3 Cent Piece Grade

Any chance of some better pics of the obverse? There is a triple die obverse variety for this year and I see a few things that make me think it could be, but can't say for sure without better pics. Even if so it's not a highly collected series, but might increase your value some if you find the right collector.

with apcol258 the date position is correct to be the TDP, but we need much clearer photos to be sure, that would have a substantial effect of value as the TDO is pretty rare and would make this around the 12-15th finest in condition census. Probably a VF with weak strike if it's not bunt of pushed as coinfrog mentions. Love to see it out of the case too.

for future posts, please rotate coin so that they oriented correctly. it hurts my brain to look upside down.

weak reverse strike. it is difficult to determine in the photo but hold the coin straight up and down and look at it from the side to make sure its doesn't have a slight bend in it. the obverse photo is giving some sign of that but it could be the lighting

barring that overall the coin would fall imo in the F15 range as the hairband is fully separated from the hair. the coin probably is in the $20 retail range due to the weak reverse.

The coin is not bent. I will get you some more photos when I get home this afternoon. I dont think the coin has ever been bent. Usually you can tell and I cant find any bows in the coin at all.. ill post some more pics of all of each side later today. thanks!
