<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2251310, member: 11786&quot;]Well, what you state does not explain <i>why </i>the shape of the &quot;C&quot; punch is vastly different on this coin. Before I posted, I studied several dozen reverses for this year from random, certified coins. Statistically, that should represent a large population, yet I did not see a match for the MM shape on the OP&#039;s coin. I would argue that these differences are <i>significant</i>, as they point to a different punch design. So either this punch was in use in 1875, or it wasn&#039;t. Such details matter a lot when you&#039;re looking for varieties as I do. I may have mentioned, I&#039;ve recall seeing this same shape on CC mintmarks on proven fakes. I&#039;m not trying to be contentious, only logical about this. So I&#039;ll wait to hear the final judgment on this coin, and adjust my opinion accordingly. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
