<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1567630, member: 15199"]The 3CN often had lower pressure strikes to preserve the dies. The pressure needed for CN coins was extremely hard on die metal at that time, so many 3C CN look more worn than actual. I prefer to go by the 3 Columns on the reverse, as the center of the columns is the high point of the reverse. This coins has fairly good lines in the columns, so I would put it in the VF range, but it is damaged. It seems that most of the bidding is done by 2 individuals who are working on a set. Not a buy IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
