<p>[QUOTE="ksparrow, post: 7428022, member: 7638"][ATTACH=full]1289598[/ATTACH] you can see multiple broken letters and missing serifs in the lettering. My raw 73P has just the broken E in UNITED. Few dies were made for the 1873 coins, so if the same hub was used over several years, and deteriorated, we could be looking at a transfer from a later year type 1 coin. Just speculating. Joe Kirchgesser is still working on his definitive book on trade dollars, my knowledge is at best basic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
