TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 4:43 pm I'm not sure whats going on with the numbers,1879-S with a 79 Reverse.I would say a strong MS63 with possible MS64 depending if the deduct for the light cheek hits.Another beautiful coin.Is there a large hit going accross the bottom of her neck or is that reflection?

ChristinaM Pillar of the Community United States 547 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 4:53 pm That IS a hit. Its barely noticeable when looking at the coin in hand. I didn't notice it until I had taken the pic. I wasn't sure about the numbers either. Hoping Bryan comes along shortly. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/03/2006 5:45 pm although not in the book, it seems it may be a VAM-59 (of course I am not 100% sure) but here is what it says about it 59 III229 · C3r (Doubled 879, S/S Lower Loop Tilted Left) (185) I-2 R-4 Obverse III229- Doubled 879 in date. Slightly doubled 8 at top outside and lower inside of upper loop, 7 at very top and right side and 9 at left side of both loops. Reverse C3r- Centered IV S mint mark doubled and tilted left with curved line in middle of lower loop. Edited by Bryan1315 09/03/2006 5:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
