<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2550867, member: 19463&quot;]The coin shows severe scratching on the bottom of the obverse and the right of the reverse behind the eagle.&nbsp; I would guess that these are remnants of horn silver or other encrustations that were removed very roughly easily deeply enough to remove field letters that allow dating.&nbsp; What s left might be linked to a better coin but they used thousands of dies for these over a long period of time.&nbsp; I would not call the coin crude.&nbsp; It is damaged.&nbsp; Finding the die match would be more luck than skill.&nbsp; It is, as it is, a decent looking coin from a distance unless you are bothered by the scratches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
