Desirable 1888/7 Snow-1 Cent, AU50
1888/7 1C AU50 NGC. FS-010. Snow-1. Discovered by Jim Ruddy about 1970, the 1888 overdate is a popular and rare variety that is always in demand from series specialists, regardless of its grade. After nearly 40 years of searching, few higher grade pieces have turned up, despite the existence of a clearly visible diagnostic. All true Snow-1 overdates have a prominent rim break over ED of UNITED. Although not particularly large in size, the rim break is easily visible, even without magnification. The present piece has smooth medium brown surfaces with some weakness resulting from wear and strike, and with traces of verdigris around the devices. A few scatted marks on each side of little consequence.(Registry values: P10)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 228G, PCGS# 2169, Greysheet# 1458)
Weight: 3.11 grams
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin & Zinc
