Hi everyone this coin was featured in Western and Eastern Treasures best find magazine... I found it in Pa. about 3 years... 2 years ago I sold it at a coin show in St. Louis Mo. I bought an 18ft. open bow boat with the money!! I hope you all enjoy it.

AU condition even though its green i,b,e,r,t,y doubled take a close look at the "B","R",and "T"

pictur # 2 is an extreme close up and shows marks that you cant see regularly.

if look at the close up pic on the right, you can see a doubling of the I,B, and R in the pic are the easiest to see for some reason collectors go crazy over that there were 2 types of doubling in 1873

Don in SJ explained it this way to me:

Also, there are two varieties of the double die. Snow1 and Snow 2.
Snow 1 variety has more doubling than the Snow 2 and also has doubling at the eye. Snow 2 only has doubling at IBERTY, and not as pronounced. Snow 2 is considered the scarer of the two...jd

Congrats on your find ! The best I've found with a detector is an 18K mother's ring with 6 semiprecious stones 8-)
