cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 03:45 am That poor coin! What a shame. It would be quite valuable if it weren't for the damage. The details look close to XF. Maybe VF35 details. 1876 gets pretty pricey in anything above F. Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 05:25 am The black and bulge IMO would indicate a torch was put to this coin. What a shame. Yeah, VF+ Details. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

td5173 Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 12:46 pm Looks like some one tried to drill it with a dull drill bit. To bad it was a nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 1:20 pm I see some wire soldered in the depression. Perhaps it was made into a button? It was once an EF coin. Edited by DVCollector 02/17/2011 1:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 2:18 pm That's what I was thinking too...a button of some sort. Shame, it was a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 5:42 pm The bulge on the obverse prevented the LIBERTY from wearing. Otherwise, it would barely make F. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 7:04 pm I don't agree with that. Looks like the bulge was put there pretty much after all the wear happened. I'd agree with the others - VF details, but with that damage it hardly matters, really. Report this Post to the Staff

HoosierDaddy Pillar of the Community United States 1164 Posts	Posted 02/17/2011 8:50 pm I just thought I'd share this one because of the shape of most of the coin from that year. Everything except the hole and damage. Report this Post to the Staff
