BAD CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS COIN INCLUDE:  (1) IT HAS A HOLE;  (2) THERE ARE SCRATCHES ON THE EDGES OF THE LAST SIX, BUT IT STILL SHOWS THE UPPER CURL OF THE SIX AND POCKETS WITHIN THE LOWER CIRCLE AND UNDER THE UPPER CURL.  (3) THE LAST 6 IS LESS VISIBLE THAN THE OTHER NUMBERS IN THE DATE...I CAN SEE THE SIX WHEN I VIEW IT UPSIDE DOWN, MAKING THE DATE READ AS 9981.  (I USE A 60X ZOOM MICROSCOPE) THIS IS A RARE FIND.  NEARLY THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION OF NON-PROOF COINS FROM 1863 TO 1872 WAS MELTED IN 1873. (2009 REDBOOK)  I BELIEVE THAT THIS COIN SURVIVED, BECAUSE IT WAS AROUND SOMEONE'S NECK AS A CHARM AND KEPT IN A JEWELRY BOX FOR SAFE KEEPING.  NOW IT IS BEING KEPT IN A 2X2 CARDBOARD MYLAR HOLDER.
