I need a better pic......

Looks like the reverse of 80'

Looks like an 1880-CC Reverse of 80 coin.

The top arrow feather doesnt look parallel to the nock.

Next the Eagle's breast looks rounded and not flat.

Next the mintmark doesn't look small, but large. Only Rev of 78 has a small MM and flat breast.

If you get a better picture or an obverse picture with the date clear, we could tell you the VAM.

Reverse of 1880

Why not just ask the seller if the top and bottom edges of the arrow feathers are parallel ? Fearful of blowing a cherrypick ?

Fade to Black,

In your OP picture, is that a rim ding at the 10:00 position?

Hope your right about the Rev of 78. Good luck.

Nick

Gosh, this is basic Redbook info. I suggest to the OP that he'll get his info more quickly and accurately there.

I would have tried persuading the seller to re-image the reverse. Maybe in the form of suggesting some simple tips for stabilizing the camera. Like placing the camera on a solid surface in front of the coin, instead of trying to hold the camera in hand.

Being less polite, the crap images are clear enough for a 4th grader to make an appraisal. Something about convex vs. concave.

Alright, look, here's my understanding;

From those images, the right side of the breast is the same and the left side of the '78 is flat, versus the '79 having a slight curvature. Instead of insulting me, why wouldn't you attempt to educate me a little bit? You sure as hell can't pick up the arrow feathers diagnostic, so what is it that you are seeing on the breast that makes it a dead giveaway one way or the other? The only thing I see that is making me think the latter reverse would be the first "set" of feathers on the left wing, which bulge out a bit, rather than being flat as they appear on the former. >>

I see no reason to help lazy people. Concave vs.convex is MORE than you are entitled to. Look at a Redbook? Coinfacts? You can't tell? 4th graders are required to do research like this and do it al the time. You want help? Help yourself first.

Nickcap already told you everything you needed. Have you still not verified it?

Braille would probably work

Did the coin arrive? What was the final outcome?
