That one was more fun than I thought it would be.  I won't share my theory yet as nobody else has posted, but could you call this one something like "Die State 1.5?" |

Next 1 should be easy Yes it certainly is.. because there is only that one obverse..with a d/c in the "C" and "G"..and it leads to that one reverse.. "I always start with the obverse.." |

The reverse crack development at 11-12 and 15 doesn't seem to match that of the obverse, which hints at State 5 but the reverse looks like State 6. |

I wont give it away but it's a very late die state for this coin.

Since fourmack appears to be out of tests, I'll offer my one and only example of the date for attribution. Although my images were lit to illustrate the coin's color and luster, they should suffice for attribution since there at least two "killer" pickups visible. This was the first 1859 I ever attributed, and it was a good introduction to the intricacies of the process.   |

This one was definitely tougher to ID with having no die cracks to follow but I have it as PC59-8a1, Obv. 8a paired with Rev. E10.
I believe it most closely resembles state 5.
Cheers, Bill

"Smoking gun" pickups are the Leaf 9 stem configuration, and the State 5 rust pit inside the beads from Leaf 14, both definitive for E10. I'm ambivalent about the specific die state, though, as State 5 indicated the clashing is worn away and this one is pretty extensively clashed on both faces. More like State 6, except the crack at Leaf 4 has not yet appeared.
