They changed both the obv and the reverse, All 1873 and 74 coins are type 1 obv/rev, all 1877 and later are type II obv/rev. 1875 and 76 can be...
Philadelphia did not begin placing a P mintmark on its coins (with three exceptions) until 1980. The exceptions are the 35% silver war nickels...
I can't believe that in four pages of posts no one mentioned the fact that the coin in the original post had a type 1 reverse and the type 1...
It's very simple. Some of us don't have a conscience. I could easily rip people off like that and I wouldn't lose a minutes sleep over it. But...
