southsav Pillar of the Community 2222 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 12:15 pm The best I can guess is possibly 1865. Anyone got better eyes? Here are numerous photos with different lighting. I found the closer I zoomed the more difficult it was to try to determine the date. Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 09/06/2023 5:07 pm It's a type 2 so would be mid 1886 or after. 1888 gets my vote as well. Edited by lcutler 09/06/2023 5:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 09/07/2023 02:21 am Pretty sure it's a type 1 so 1886 or before. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1657 Posts	Posted 09/07/2023 04:21 am I think 52Raymo has better eyesight than me, squinting my eyes and twisting my head, I now agree, type 1. Maybe 1868. Edited by lcutler 09/07/2023 04:23 am Report this Post to the Staff
RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 09/07/2023 2:23 pm I see what looks to be a Shallow N reverse as well as a type 1 obverse. Would likely make it 1860s. Maybe a 1865 or 1868. Report this Post to the Staff
Toledano99 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 09/07/2023 3:52 pm I vote 1868 from changing the tint back and forth. Report this Post to the Staff
southsav Pillar of the Community 2222 Posts	Posted 09/07/2023 4:09 pm Thanks so much folks! I wish I could give you each a prize for helping me, but THANKS will have to do. I'm calling it - 1865. Acetone and a Q tip along with your remarks helped me come to this conclusion. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
