<p>[QUOTE="wxcoin, post: 2965841, member: 74624"]I noticed a few rare 3CNs coming up for auction this week. One of them is an1883 advertised as being AU/UNC. This is a very nice looking coin for this extremely rare date. The area around the second 8 looks a little odd so I looked at other certified examples that had sold over the past few years. With this low mintage I assume only one die pair was used. The position of the second 8 in relation to the denticles seem a little off. I'd appreciate any feedback from those of you with more experience with this series. Is it real or possibly an altered 1873?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://m.proxibid.com/category/resources/mobile/itemImageDetail.html#search|lot|Three%20cent|Three%20cent|relevance|40870060|2|none|40870059|0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://m.proxibid.com/category/resources/mobile/itemImageDetail.html#search|lot|Three%20cent|Three%20cent|relevance|40870060|2|none|40870059|0" rel="nofollow">https://m.proxibid.com/category/resources/mobile/itemImageDetail.html#search|lot|Three cent|Three cent|relevance|40870060|2|none|40870059|0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
