. One could say that 1890H has been struck with convex reverse die; that makes worn rims and clear date :wink:

The value for AG3 stated here on the website is significantly lower than what the gentleman at the coin shop said it was worth. Which leaves me confused. Obviously the best course of action is to send it ...
