<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 621534, member: 66"]I'd say it is an HT 20. It is faint but the uppermost lightning bolt IS there. Why they are so weak I can't say. The coin shows some signs that the die was heavily polished but to lose almost all the lightning like that I would expect a lot more weakness in other places as well. I can't buy a grease fill because of how selective it is. Losing the bolt on both sides of where it passes through a letter but not lose the letter too?</p><p><br /></p><p>I would bet that the lightning was tooled off a long time ago to create a "new" variety. Back at the turn of the 19th century HT's were HOT and a "new" variety would have brought a lot of money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
