Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 09:05 am Agree. On a Shallow N with this much wear, the bottom leg of the N would be hardly visible. Report this Post to the Staff
HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 05/19/2024 09:50 am Here is an example of a 1871 IHC with the Shallow N reverse. I tried to find a close grade to the coin in question. This shows how the bottom of the N of ONE is pretty much gone as Coinfrog was pointing out. This coin seems to be better grade but still shows how the bottom of the N will wear off rather quickly during circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
