<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 4752407, member: 19250&quot;]True the 1866 was a large mintage, and this coin has all the pizzazz one could ask for, first its under graded ,as to my eye the tpg judged this more so on strike..... than anything else, next the rpd and again yes there were lots of rpds in the 1866 CN , however this one is a rarer one.&nbsp; So yeah undergraded by at least 1 pt. A rarer variety, on a 150+ year old coin&nbsp;&nbsp; in uncirculated condition.....plus the variety premium&nbsp; makes this 3CN a $1000.00+ coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes this series is just about impossible to build a date set in MS.</p><p>However what this series does offer is the history behinde it. The&nbsp; series has lots of varieties....as well&nbsp; unbelievable clashes, and die cracks! </p><p>And lastly as a few have posted the color of these go from battle ship grey to unbelievable copper toned colors. </p><p>Its a shame that most never explore this series. Another thing ive notice is most dealers will just about give them away....lack of interest by&nbsp; most collectors .</p><p>I have several toned very simular to the op&#039;s coin..... and would pull the trigger on any like it ,if one was available at a good price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
