Tam Valued Member United States 200 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 12:44 pm Well, using the digits 0-9, we can rule out 1, 4, 6, 8, 0. Leaving 2,3,5,7,9. We can rule out 7, 9, I don't see the tail as getting that smushed or moved to blob like that. Leaves 2,3,5,rule out 3 and 5 for the same prior reason, and you have a 12-S. Compare the "blob" to another 1912, you'll note the "blob" is same as the bottom point of the damaged 2. Yeah, shame it got hurt so badly, especially on the digit, almost seems deliberate.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/31/2011 8:30 pm I used Photoshop to do a date overlay. I'm 99.9% positive that it's a 1912. The slight difference in the 2 could be caused from the damage making the 2 just larger than the 2 from the overlay. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting?

drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 08/01/2011 10:27 am Only 99.9% sure? Are the chances really 1 in 1000 that it is NOT a 2? Report this Post to the Staff

I'll have to change it to 99.8%. It's a 1 in 500 chance it's not a 2, tops. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!
