suvoth Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 08/03/2006 11:04 pm Does anyone know what that lettering stands for below the horse on the left and right? Also, anyone know what would cause that circular pattern on the middle of the coin (front and back)? Report this Post to the Staff

They are available in PL and SP sets quite regularly on ebay. Expect to pay $300 for a set with one. Business strike coins are rarer I think. Price for a ICCS graded coin in MS65 would be anywhere from $2000 and up!!!!! Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 05:58 am Estimated mintage- 10,000 circulated coins. The easiest bway to tell is by looking at the hair- on the scarce variety the hair lines are really sommth, while they are strong on the scarce variety. The circles do come fofrom mechanical means, probably counting machines, as casino damage tends to be overall wear, and did not start to become common until long after this issue.
