    My mother found this coin among several other coins after my father died. I have researched it as extensively as possible, and believe it may be an 1875 re-strike. It seems to have die marks in it, so possibly right before the die broke. The coin was unearthed near the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1975. Any help identifying it would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you! I hope you can see this, if not, I will try a different picture...

    This is one of the 1961 restrikes made from copy dies. The "chisel" marks on the reverse are one way to identify.
