    This is acutally what I believe to be the misplaced date variety and not FS-50-1876-302 (which is a repunched date) but actually FS-50-1876-303. This one shows no signs of being the 302, but shows signs of a 303. If it were a 302, it would shows signs of an underlying date directly under and almost touching the "7" & "6", which this one does not. I do see traces of the "6" (or what Cherrypickers' Guide believes to be a "6") coming up from the denticles near the rim, most likely indicating that it is a 303. Cherrypickers' Guide values it at $100 for VF20 and $150 for XF40 (This looks to probably be a VF30 or VF35), so I'll say retail value is $130.00.
