Message:: [QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 24637480, member: 73885"]196 is its referance number in RIC VII (I didn't 2X chk if that's correct & posts above say it isn't, I just mean that's what the seller is trying to say. It's not meant to be the year minted). If you like the look of that particular coin, & they're not charging more than a couple bucks & S&H isn't much, then go for it. Otherwise, hold out; you can find the same in better condition for peanuts. In fact, if you wanted a really nice example, this is a type that you could find cheap (<$20) in a high grade with a nice patina. P.S. This is a type that it's real easy to find yourself with a very wrong impression of what one should cost if you simply look at what examples currently for sale in all the regular places cost. This is a very common type that most collectors have extras of, so they don't really sell. So there's a bunch out there & the overpriced ones just sit forever. So if you look too see what they cost, you'll see a lot of rediculously priced examples that'll never sell. Horseman FTRs & 2-Solders with stdrd/s GLOR. EXs are the same way; I imagine there's more examples as well.[/QUOTE]
