    What about the 4th one?

    Graffiti on 1835 is actually very faint in hand although the camera accentuates it.
    It looks like Jislie Jislie

    One coin per thread would be helpful.

    My grandfather had a store in the 50's, 60's and 70's and an old brass cash register. I remember coins looking like the 1837 and figured it was because the wooden drawers were rounded on the ends. Don't know this to be true, but when I first started collecting coins from change I remember quite a few that looked like that.

    @jesbroken look how much obv detail compared to the rev on the 1837. Doesn't look right to me.
