roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 5:01 pm Just got in this 1859 Indian cent , I bough it because I though it was a Snow 3 due to the "extra" material on the bottom of the one, but now I am not so sure. Any suggestions on how to clean that area up without "cleaning it up" ? Report this Post to the Staff

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 11:43 am I do not believe this is the S-3 Variety. The date position looks to be in a different spot. Here is one of my examples. The RPD is very bold and you would see the outline below the 1 very easily. Report this Post to the Staff
