<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 2745046, member: 78719&quot;]There are actually many more 1879 L coins out there that one would suspect for a 20k mintage, and most in the VF to AU range. The obverses are almost always terribly struck with weak features. A search of eBay seems to turn these up relatively often and many times it comes up for auction at venues such as LCA (BTW, that coin of theirs looks to be amongst the nicer available in the last cpl. years). Hard to peg the value as these just don&#039;t come in nicer unc. grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP coin is likely mid-VF and sadly has a bit of a rim ding at 10 o&#039;clock reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The real sleeper is the 1879 half sov. in AU or so that seems to show up about 1/4 the frequency of the full sov.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
