Sorry, that was an autocorrect malfunction. :banghead: I typed "stippled". My phone decided to step into an editorial role, as it so often does.
Really weird. Tell me, is the stippled area oh-so slightly raised, or incuse? I'm wondering if that's not some sort of corrosive damage to the die.
Ouch.
Aha. International Space Year commem. CuNi, not silver. Catalogs six and a half bucks in Proof. Not bad.

That one to me would have been a no-brainer. In my opinion, humble or otherwise, that 1877 quarter has easily 4x-5x the eye appeal of the 1875....
Lots of CircCammy goodness there. The Shield and Libnix look good together, all in a row like that. I know they're not what most people would...
I'd say 50-53. Decent looking coin.
I've had some Hoggy minors in the past. Some of the small denomination coins can be had even in Mint State on a modest to middling budget. Not...
Sweet kitty! Reminds me of some of our black-n'-white units! Psst! Quick! Add a coin picture in there to "make it legal"! ;)
