Nope... just a plain old '17, acid date restored. :)
When the nickel planchet is struck, the date (& devices) are forced into the recesses of the die under great pressure. This effectively "hardens"...
I just put a drop of nic-a-date on my dateless buffs, and bingo... there's the date. No muss, no fuss.;)[IMG]
Yep... you have to be 18 to open an account on eBay; but as many of the YN's do, they have their parents take care of that. I believe that for a...
That's your 1857 Flying Eagle cent...
I know there's a lot of YN's buying and selling on the 'Bay, but just to reiterate eBay's policy: you must be 18 to register. I assume the YN's...

And that's if it's genuine. This date is so heavily counterfeited that even with good photos, I would be wary. Best to take this to a local coin...
To me, listing a raw coin with no reference to a problem (other than "see scan for condition") is more deceptive than listing it in a slab with...
That's why it's hard to put a value on it. It wouldn't sell for $12 because of the gouge. If you want to say it's worth twelve dollars, that's...
Might be a tough sell with that gouge on the reverse.
Yep... no value other than face. Dryers effect coins in different ways, spooning intially flattens just the rim (which a dryer can do also). [IMG]
