<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2301491, member: 29751&quot;]Yep, the 173 is basically the &quot;large date&quot; version of the 174 die.&nbsp; The lettering also differs around the statue of Washington.&nbsp; The 174/272a is the most graded of all of the patriotic Civil War tokens by NGC (they report 217 BN and 34 RB in their census -- 2 in MS67, and 15 in MS66).&nbsp; While they only report 21 graded examples all BN of the 173/272a token -- 3 in MS65BN and none higher.</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite both tokens being rated R1, the 173/272a is most assuredly more difficult to find in gem than the 174.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been looking for nearly 4 years for one I liked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
