<p>[QUOTE="Seated J, post: 4302059, member: 102873"]In his guide book of US Type Coins Q. David Bowers had this to say about type II trimes: "Most are very poorly struck except for the scarce date 1855. Generally, 1854 trimes are poorly struck, and those dated from 1856 to 1858 are worse yet. Save for those dated 1855, probably no more than one trime in 50 in the type II series is sharply struck on all features. The beauty part is that when you do find a sharply struck coin, the added premium will probably be modest. It might be twice the price, but will be quite worthwhile."</p><p>Sounds like patience will be needed to find a good one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
