middenmess Valued Member United Kingdom 107 Posts	Posted 04/01/2009 08:42 am Checking through a few American coins that I've accumulated over the years and I came across this one. A quick google tells me that it is a quite interesting item but what are Type 1 and Type 2? A couple of green patches so an honest coin! Would there be any interest in it if I offered it for sale on this site in this condition? Report this Post to the Staff

Type 1 Had FIVE CENTS and the mint mark on top of the raised mound. Type 2 had just the top part of the mound where the buffalo is standing lined off and the area for the denomination and mm was recessed. If you had the Type 2, you would have a $475 coin.
