<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1242137, member: 13307&quot;]So, here&#039;s what I have:</p><p><br /></p><p>An extremely worn IHC that appears to be an 1877.&nbsp; However, you can only read clearly the 1 and last 7...but catch just enough of the first 7 to get a bit excited.&nbsp; </p><p>It doesn&#039;t look like it was altered...and that third digit could ONLY be a 7 (assuming it&#039;s original.)</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is ROUGH.&nbsp; (I promise to post photos of this soon.)&nbsp; It looks like it was dug up from an old house fire location and then cleaned for a bit, buried, then dug up again and perhaps eaten and passed through someone&#039;s digestive tract.&nbsp; Maybe buried again a third time, just for kicks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what I&#039;m going to do:</p><p><br /></p><p>Take it into the local coin shop.&nbsp; Have them play with it a while.&nbsp; If they think it&#039;s worth it, I might send it in to TPG to get it verified authentic.&nbsp; I doubt it would grade anything but the lowest of grades...but having an authentic one?&nbsp; That would be sweet...</p><p><br /></p><p>So, and I realize that the answer to this question might depend on the photos I provide...what would you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
