Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 01/21/2022 09:18 am This is a lesser known variety. I've posted one before( I have a few) but needed one in high grade. I missed an NGC 66 recently but I don't trust their coins to cross grade at PCGS (that's where the value is). So I found this one on a nice coin for a decent price. This is the earliest die state I've seen on this die. The S isn't all the way filled in. Since it's already graded by PCGS I can send it in for reholdering and variety attribution for around $25 and have a $200 coin. Coop here's a link to a properly attributed coin: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin/detail/408345 Report this Post to the Staff

I agree, it is always the best approach by identifying the markers. Edited by Chase007 01/21/2022 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
