<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Half Dime, post: 25655702, member: 153164&quot;]Over the past 2 days, I have performed this on a pair of Shields, and I believe that the dates are 1871 (first) and 1870 (second). Here are the pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641132[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1641133[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1641134[/ATTACH]</p><p>The 1871 is my favorite of the 2, partially because it is a key date. I could likely get $10-30 out of the $2 investment. In my favor for the date is the mismatching of the 1&#039;s serifs. It&#039;s better than most of the 1868s I find when restoring!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1641135[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1641136[/ATTACH]</p><p>This one, that looks like an 1870, has a 50 cent investment. The date is barely visible, but it is there.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is why I clean the dateless ones up![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
