Yes, I’m updating my RHM database with RHM website information…

Today’s coin of the day…..

1976 King Kamehameha with Ahualoa Land bank and AU1GR Copper

If you observe the obverse, it has no welt (should be by the lower dot). This is not a 1976 or 1977 struck copper coin (date of 1976 is reused until 1979). Key sign is no welt.

Coin was struck in 1978 based on description match (first no welt occurence and no subsequent description match occurrence).

From the RHM database Year 1978 (note that the year 1976 is in the description)
