[QUOTE="The Meat man, post: 8208470, member: 135271"]Here is a coin I bought a little while back. It's my oldest, and also happens to be my wife's favorite.

Is there any way to know more about exactly when this coin was made? Is there a way to tell an early type III from a later? I know this coin is pretty worn so that might make it more difficult.
