Backstory: A few days past, in my post, I mentioned Ed's collection, a complete
IHC album I purchased in the late '70's. Mind in absentia, guided by Ed, I put the finishing touches to it by adding the few missing keys.
@suipakpaikungfu asked me to post up the whole thing on CCF. I hadn't visited Ed's collection in a while. @suipakpaikungfu reawakened my erstwhile plan to explore the five oddities Ed placed in five unlabeled slots at bottom of the last page.
The oddities are dated 1862, 1872, 1879, 1900, and 1908. I'll post one coin at a time in hope that - having lost both beloved Ed and Ed's wisdom to the march of time - I might recover insight from experts on CCF. I posted !862 earlier; 1872 is appended to this post; 1879, 1900, and 1908 will follow in separate posts.
My 1872 question is simpler. Has this coin been troubled enough or would a collector -- one of adequate brain -- trouble him/herself to market it?
