<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RedRaider, post: 1647141, member: 27181&quot;]I picked this up today while browsing an online inventory of a coin shop.&nbsp; I have been looking for a better example of one of these for a while.&nbsp; In 3 years of searching coin shops, I have only seen 3 examples, all graded G or worse.&nbsp; It was unattributed, but still cost quite a bit, as its graded EX45.</p><p><br /></p><p>This completes my &quot;Shallow N&quot; variety set for the dates 1870, 1871, and 1872. The 1871 is extremely rare in MS strike, with an estimate of 1% of the coins struck that year with the Shallow N.&nbsp; If counted as part of the complete set, it is the rarest coin in the series (much rarer than the 1877).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Im really stoked as this coin has been very elusive.&nbsp; Rick Snow has an EX45 on his website for $1,000 right now, and I paid significantly less than half of that for this one.&nbsp; Ill post better picks when the coin arrives.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]238612.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]238613.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
