<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1992221, member: 36864"]I'm with the crowd. The 1 is in an incorrect position, and the 4 should have some lower doubling.

The fact is that the US has not been producing coins so long that each die (or pair) is not decernable in one way or another. In this case, I hope that the OP did not make a costly mistake. There are plenty of great raw coins. I'm working on a RB large cent date set at the moment, and the majority of my acquisitions will likely be raw. Not because I want raw necessarily, but because not every coin has been graded. If you take the time to learn about the coin that you want to purchase, you should be able to make an educated assessment of the coin and buy accordingly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
