Came across this coin. I am unable to find a Coneca Listing. The 1 in the date and the D in united look interesting to me. what do you all think?

    TD and S too. Pretty clean for an 82. Wait for the experts on ihc's.

    The "1" is double punched (cannot tell about the 8's). The doubling on the legend of these coins is common, and there is some debris in the top of the "2."

    Edit: the doubling on the "United" may not be the common "Longacre type" after all. but probably is.

    I checked my Snow reference guide and would say you have a S-3 18/18 (n) repaired 2. His notes claim it is moderatley scarce.

    It might be a moderately scarce variety, but it's been improperly cleaned.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I thought it looked too clean. Thanks for confirming

    Man, I am unable to yell about the cleaning... this coin is an Ebay listed item. I was trolling for varieties and today was the IHCs I spent time on

    It is all about the color. :)

    I thought the color was due more to lighting/photography.... Thanks for the clarification. Always tricky when evaluating a coin from a picture. Cheers, RickO

    I thought the OP was asking about the variety not if it was cleaned.
