<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3585606, member: 101855&quot;]Here is one I bought almost 40 years ago at an Early American Coppers annual convention. I wanted one to cover the variety without breaking the bank so it&#039;s not a great coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]957248[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]957249[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The reverse die for this coin was made at a time when the morale at the mint was near bottom. The wages were low, the working conditions were awful and some members of Congress were looking to have agency shut down. The errors are the fraction “1/000”, a missing left wreath stem and the “U” in “UNITED” was punched upside down and then right side up which gives you the &quot;IINITED.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>The EAC grade on this is VG minus whatever you want to take off for light cleaning and some red corrosion. In today&#039;s market, if you could buy this as a VG, you would be doing very well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
