Message:: [QUOTE="iPen, post: 2652974, member: 69760"]I'm not too familiar with these, so I did some digging. After checking some resources for what I should look for, three of the die markers show that it's a type 2 die on both the obverse and reverse. From what I read, from 1877 onward, there are only type 2 obverse and type 2 reverse designs. So, I checked the LIBERTY ribbon/banner, and the two left triangles of it point downward (type 2) as opposed to left (type 1). Next, on the reverse of the coin, the bottom arrow clutched by the eagle's talons point midway to the number 2 in 420 (type 2), as opposed to the right of it (type 1). Finally, again on the reverse of the coin, the leaf extends below the top of the letter "F" in "FINE", as opposed to being aligned to the top of the letter "F". And, the leaf next to it points towards the right of the letter "F", as opposed to the letter "I" in "FINE". Also, the denticles initially looked strange, but from other online pics, they look similar. The 1877 date seems to match. Are there any other die markers to help verify it? Thanks in advance!
