beachloan Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 3:35 pm I bought this several years ago at a little antique store and today was the 1st time I really looked at it. These are the best pictures I can get but wanted to know what I can look for to determine what year it is. Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 8:26 pm looks promising but I can't say for sure with those pics... I'd love to see it in hand! Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 9:30 pm The 1877 IH cents I have seen, the "N" in ONE is weak in the lower right corner. The one posted looks bold, I would not go with it being a 1877 Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 10:48 pm The date area is pretty sketchy from what I see--it could be a lot of dates. With GoldRush--it's a "Bold N" reverse. 1877 Proofs had a bold N, but the date would need to be confirmed. Send it to Rick Snow, he could give you a definitive answer. Report this Post to the Staff
vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 08/06/2011 11:14 pm the N looks like a non 1877 to me.... Report this Post to the Staff
