I won this in an online raffle 10 years ago (1897 1c - 1 in neck)...

In the rec.collecting.coins newsgroup. Apparently, this variety had not caught on at that time. I grade it a VG-10. What do these normally go fo nowadays?

    1 in Neck, cool variety. I'm not sure how much it would garner, but I think there is a slight premium. I'd ask Rick Snow from http://www.indiancent.com as he is the expert in the field.

    I saw one of these on the bay a couple of months ago. As a matter of fact, a thread on this board pointed me to it.
    That one, a similar grade to yours, if I remember, brought about 350.00.......

    About 15 years ago I cherry picked TWO from the same dealer for about $1 each in VG..... I think that's one of them, can I please have it back?

    There is also an 1847 half eagle variety with an inverted 1 coming out of the neck at the same location. Very interesting variety.

    From the obverse picture I think your grade is pretty conservative, I'd say it's an easy Fine and maybe VF. This time last year I sold the example below in a PCGS Fine 15 holder for about $125 (eBay auction), your coin looks a little nicer and raw should be worth close to that. Get it in a PCGS VF20 holder and it would probably fetch more like $200.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    The coin from the photo does not appear to have full liberty and therefor could not grade higher than VG. I agree with the poster that the coin is VG-10

    Very nice coin Elmer!

    My question... Does PCGS give more leniency on this particular coin because it's a variety (ie. less likely to bodybag for minor "issues"?)
