What are you on about?
The error is someone thinking they could do an 1873 Trade Dollar fake with a reverse that wasn't released until 1875. :)
It's more like, "Did any 1837 die pairs not crack?" :) This one's GR-5, not a particular rarity but pretty interesting for the reverse die being...
I'm leaning towards a lot of worry about a barely-circulated coin with thick crud clinging only to the tightest areas. Not exactly 100% sure, but...

Um, this is a 4-year-old thread....
The less-important aspect of this coin is the BIE - during that era, for some reason, Lincolns often developed die chips right there, where a...
A lamination will have a physical edge, something which will easily catch a fingernail dragged across it, and it should show that physical edge in...
