<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 38376, member: 66&quot;]My biggest gripe about this coin is that we really don&#039;t know what it is or how many of them are known.&nbsp; PCGS didn&#039;t bother to identify it completely.&nbsp; They slabbed it as a J-2 because it doesn&#039;t have a silver center, but the non-silver center comes either as a pure copper coin or with the silver alloyed with the copper.&nbsp; There were only two known of one and six known of the other.&nbsp; The only way to be sure which one it is is by a specific gravity test.&nbsp; Well when this coin was discovered and they certified it I specificly asked them what the specific gravity was.&nbsp; Their answer was &quot;We don&#039;t know.&quot;&nbsp; So it is now &quot;certified&quot; as a genuine (might be a) J-2.&nbsp; And it is either an R-8- coin or an R7- coin.&nbsp; (They did know the weight and it implies that it is the R-8-, one of three known variety.&nbsp; but now we&#039;ll possibly never know for sure.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
