Reconstruction Era being defined as 1866 - 1879


These are my favorite dates for IHC's and the best dates in the series (except the S mints).

    That's a beautiful coin, GB, and a really tough date, too.

    Those are my favorite dates as well, and I have a number of them stockpiled away - no pics though, and certainly nothing like the one Goldbully posted - what a moose of an IHC! We'll need to get Charmy in here to rival that one.

    From what I've read, many of IHC dates minted during the reconstruction era, despite their relatively high mintages, were lost to the Recoinage Act of 1870 - - melted and then recoined.

    Don't quite understand the logic of the Recoinage Act but c'est la vie.


    Yes, that 1871 is a beast!

    The 1877 belongs to Toneddollars. Both your 1871 and Mark's 1869 are fabulous.

    The obverse looks like a no brainer RD. The reverse (from the image) looks to be the deal breaker. It has the RB look to it. Killer obverse!!
