    I spotted this blurry photo on eBay, and was convinced of the variety. If you're familiar with the IHC varieties for 1873, which one do you think it is? If nobody gets it, I'll post the answer when the coin arrives and I take new pictures. :)

    Looks like an open tree, but it's pretty hard to tell by that image.

    It's not just an open 3, but something more... ;)

    Wow--that was quick! Great picture--it's a nice RPD.
    I'll post (much better) pictures when it arrives.

    Did the 7 give it away? The pic is bad.

    Did you cherry it? If so, great eye!! I love how the specialists of a certain series of coin notice things like this at a drop of a hat. I would have never seen it without coaxing. I hope to know Lincolns this well one day!

    Thanks...yeah, I found it on eBay...there are certain varieties I have memorized. :)

    Yeah...the pic is bad, but that's how I often cherrypick coins off eBay--I notice something that others did not. In this case, the 3 clinched it--I have no doubts.
