ID the coin by the anomaly - GAME

I think you just nailed it with FS-902 (FS-002.95) as @paddyman98 coin appears to have a complete "S" in States. (FS-002.96) requires the 1st "S" in States to be broken as well.

FS-902 is correct for the reverse. The obverse appears to show a minor RPD north along the base of the 1. A quick glance at my reference files indicates this RPD is probably uncatalogued.

For those who guessed DDO, I'm not seeing it.

How about guessing the variety shown in my avatar? Should be pretty easy!

 

I am not Paddyman98.....

 

Sorry about that I caught it too late to change it.

About the reverse...I don't have much info on the Shield Nickels and one of the sites I saw called the IIb reverse the rarer of the 2. My bad.

 

@Paddy54 - do we have a winner? Who is it?

 

@SorenCoins

WooHoo! BTW FS-902 (FS-002.95) was my intended original answer, I mixed those two varieties up.

Let's see...
This one may be tricky because it's a lowball (I enhanced the image to make it easier to see).
Here's your hint: It's a quarter. It is related to Paddy54's post.

 

1866 Liberty Seated Quarter with Motto

 

Closer. Because in the instructions it says 24 hours give or take Ill let this go on a little longer. Second hint: from 1870s, and at a mint that does not operate anymore.

 

I'm just hoping people play. It's not an easy game, but I think there can be a lot to learn through it.

 

From the image provided I can't determine anything , other than a seated quarter worned beyond recognition.

 

Well I end it there with Beefer518 winning this round.
You can make out the bottom letters.
The answer was 1876-CC 25C Type 2 Rev.
Beefer, you have the floor.

 

neat, and tough contest

 

Yup, and @Paddy54 here is how you could see the Type II Rev.
Short, chubby, unconnected bottom letter "serifs."

 

Ok, just got home.

First order of business:

Second order of business: What coin, what year, what variety?

 

This isn't a 1876-CC 25C Type I Rev is it?

 

So close and yet so far (about 2,700 miles).

 

And no correct answer after 44 hours ...so the correct answer is?

 

Seeing how there was only one guess, and he had everything except the mint location correct, @SorenCoins is the winner of this round.

It's an 1876 (P) 25¢ Type I Rev.
