    i picked this up the other day. I haven’t received it yet. For 5 bucks i took a gamble. The auction was ending in 30 seconds when i saw it and didn’t have time to research it. After i won it i looked for RPD or something and could find anything on it. Is this a error if so what is it. Without having the coin in hand i can’t tell if it was post mint damage. Let me know what you think.

    V. Kurt Bellman Yes, I'm blunt! Get over your "feeeeelings".

    Without having it in hand, it looks like a small die chip. They produced a lot of 1883's.

    Also the first thing that drew my eye was the die chip.
    Coin appears cleaned.
    If it's not cleaned, worth more than $5. (As much as $10. But def 8-9).

    My money is on it being cleaned

    Appears to have die crack through the bottom of the date and the edges of the crack are chipping.

    That's a known die crack at the date.

    Well i got it in. It is a die crack and it hasn’t been cleaned. So I’m happy about that. So it’s still worth 5 bucks. The crack cover more than half the coin. It’s just real bad at the date i was hoping for a RPD error but oh well
