    It's a PASS for me. Bad condition plus you can't tell that it's an 1872.

    Looks more like an 1873 or 1878.

    I think the price is to high for the poor grade. I would hold off for a nicer coin in better condition even if it cost more.

    While I won't address the price (it could be OK considering the coin is a better date), I'd definitely hold out for a problem free example, even if in lower grade.

    That being said, it doesn't look totally awful. It's entirely up to you what you consider acceptable (or not) for your own collection.

    Nay. Too low ball for me.

    NGC has it listed PrAg for $80.00 so it seems like a good price/deal.

    I would like/be happy over the price for this keydate, but I think I would be unhappy with the coin.

    I would need to see it in person, hard to tell the date.

    i agree. Enlarged it looks a dead ringer for 1878.

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    For a key date, I'd want the date to be clear enough that there is no doubt.

    I wouldn't touch it either. The date is "iffy" and condition very poor. It's your choice though so go for it if you like it.
