Evening all, could I possibly ask a few questions about this coin I have? Starting at 12 o'clock :- Does the closed AM mean any thing? What's that between 5-A? Is it a cross or scratched 4 Can somebody identify what's going on with the 9 and 5?( looks like an overdate?) At about 10oclock :- Where is the A gone? Die fill? Grease ? L and I in liberty smudged? Any info would be appreciated. Hope the photographs helps. Thanks for taking the time to look.
Does the closed AM mean any thing? No, as expected for the data What's that between 5-A?, PMD someone scratched the coin Is it a cross or scratched 4, looks like a cross, but it is PMD Can somebody identify what's going on with the 9 and 5?( looks like an overdate?) No At about 10oclock :- again it looks like PMD Where is the A gone? Die fill? Grease ? Yes most likely grease filled L and I in liberty smudged? Looks like the coin took a severe hit during circulation, PMD
I am inclined to agree with dfraser. Here in the section of Wexlers it shows an 1895 overdate, scroll down a few to see it: http://www.doubleddie.com/58327.html
Thankyou both, Again the knowledge here is awesome. It was a good find only bought 6 coins . Was lucky that the detail has survived the test of time.
Yep Wexlers has some good information! I use that and two others a lot. Then when I get stuck or have a question I ask the experts here!!! It so addicting, I got coins everywhere. In fact I need to get more organized.
