Would you consider pointing out the diagnostics for us?

 

What I meant is that it has something insignificant to differentiate it from an otherwise extremely common coin. To me, it is not special nor rare, regardless of what the pop reports say.

But that does not mean that I will not try to milk every penny I can out of it.

 

$29.10 on eBay.

Thank you. Would you say Die Stage B then? Or could it be C? I'm still not sure of what marker has been reported which would make it C. Only that it has been reported, but not verified.

By the way, I like the use of "Die Stages" of the variety leaving the "Die States" tied to the dies themselves rather than combining them like we do with Early Date Large Cents. This would be especially helpful where dies were used on other varieties and then paired again later with the original flip side die.

 

I would say its A but at the later stage of A almost to B. C probably hasn't been reported because either it wore away too much or the die was taken out of service while still in B stage. You can see that B is a very late die stage.

 

I'm not sure if the mark beneath D in the Stage A Photos is PMD or a crack, but I see no evidence in it in the Stage B photos. But I do see the crack at about 45 degrees in the Stage B Photos that I see on the OP coin as well as what looks like a doubled parallel chip in the bottom of D in both.

But the confusing thing is the mark in the upper left portion of the D which shows in Stage A, but not Stage B Photos, but is there in the OP coin.

There seems to be contradictory evidence to someone like me who is not familiar with the variety.

 

I paid $9 for this on eBay, then after a few weeks, I checked it for variety. It's a FS-304 D/D. PCGS graded it MS64 and the retail price is $350 (although they sell for half that). Just pure luck this time.

 

Latest 7070 addition.

 

It was not a steal like many of the coins here but it matches the look I'm going for in my set and I was happy to get it for $29 shipped.

 

$5 for my Centennial set ....the spirit of 76 .....1876 @SuperDave

 

Another sweet find.. .4.0g

 

I love this piece! Such history in one coin.

 

I'm shocked I got it for $5! This obv. Is got to be xf-45 /Au. Yes understood it's a detailed coin. She will be a nice corner stone for my 76 group.

 

That is AMAZING!!!!!!!

What happened here? Acid etched?

 

I have gotten a bunch of sub-$50 stuff lately. I will post a family photo when they are all in hand.

 

Nope... this is an mint error not post mint.

 

100% lamination error? Cool!

 

I disagree. I've seen this look before achieved with acid. But I hope I'm wrong.
