    Does this look like 1869 to you? Looks like it to me.

    How about this? 1866? Easier to see in the light though. Could try a better pic with a digital camera in the light.

    No, it doesn't... at least from what I can see.

    If you have the coins in hand, you can tell what they are much better than we can tell from images.

    Try using a dark, non-reflective background for your pics.
    The white background is overpowering the light reflected from the coin.

    First photo 1869 Second Photo is of a 1869. Use Photo Editor with this photo adjust the brightness and contrast and the second photo shows 1869 with the 9 being very weak but obviously a nine.

    If you want me to say more than "barely" I would need to see a better photo

    Photo Editor is a software take off of the old Paint Program found on all Windows OSs. If you have Windows I would bet you have one of these photo editors. They are just a little difficult to find on your Hard Drive

    I'm seeing two 1869s, too.

    Click on the START or Windows symbol at the lower left of your screen and do a search for mspaint and it should show up.

    Huh, the second looks like 1866 under a loupe. I sold the 1869, don't understand why it sold so fast and all the interest. I listed it for $20 very fast. Rose the price after a high risk buyer wanted it and someone else made an offer. Maybe I should have sold it for more? I do have another that came with a lot but I already have that date in AG with no surface issues. I have this one too that came with the lot. Looks like some crud or something? 18692R_104.JPG 18692_104.JPG
