The "Hidden Penny" Dilema!

Heres a pic of the indians that I found the other day. There was originally 4 stuck together but one of them fell off. I cleaned up the two outer coins the best i could and noticed the date of the center coin peeking out from between the other two. My question is What is the date of the center coin if the last digit is a "0" and the third # appears to be a "1" or "7"? Do you think its a rare 1870? All of the coins that I found in this spot are 1880's and 1890's. What do you think? 8)

Lol...I wouldnt have too much of a problem seperating them if i wanted too. Its not the fact that I dont know if I can........I dont know if I want to!!
As for both of the outside coins, both are facing out soo thats not a mystery. The only mystery is how good of shape is the 1870 in. Most of these indians had a pretty bad thick green buildup. 8)

I have pulled Many Stuck coins apart & almost always
they had a ring around them of clean metal where they are stuck
because tarnish can't get it.
most likely they will be original color
and condition when dropped.

Some of the Tarnish would have seeped in along the Edges,
That is what Sealed them together.
but once they sealed the center should have been air and water tight
