LostDutchman Posted June 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 The coin was a nice unc... but it looks like it might have been cleaned... it has some hair lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 I picked up one of those recently for a bit over melt. The 1887's are fairly common and easy to find as it was the first year of the new "Jubilee Head" design, so it was saved in large numbers. I have seen VERY few of these without some kind of hairlining. Yours looks nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
