<p>[QUOTE="l.cutler, post: 8089968, member: 13318"]It's a 77-dd. The die damage on the shield on the reverse is the big giveaway on this one. Sometimes colonial and state coinages can be tough to attribute in lower grades, then you have to look at whatever detail is remaining for slight variations in legends, punctuation, etc. If you are going to get into these, forget the redbook, they only have a few of the more popular varieties. Whitman's encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American coins is a good one, or you can zero in on a particular series with a more in depth specialized reference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
