<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinBreaux, post: 3156235, member: 84748&quot;]I believe that in the 1860’s, mint marks were punched by hand by mint employees. So, there is a margin of error. As for the size, the mint used hundreds of dies per year, so some dies had different sized mint marks, letters, etc because they were engraved by hand.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are graded on a scale from 1 (the worst) to 70 (the best). Most of the time, higher grade=higher price. So, an MS62 Coin May sell for 25k, but an MS69 may sell for 2 million.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your coin, it would help to have clear photos of the reverse and obverse. It looks like the reverse has been cleaned, which hurts the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
