upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 08:37 am I guess there is a little something there where the 'L' should be. What is the snow 4, the doubling in the date? I should get the snow IHC book one of these days. Edited by upstate 04/01/2013 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
skyshark124 Pillar of the Community United States 1109 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 10:34 am Yeah, what's the snow? I can't really tell about the L but I'll take Drsandman's word for it. Report this Post to the Staff
oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 10:57 am Repunched date variety. The "L" does not need to be "seen" to be identified as an "L" type. The bust is a tale-tell indicator. "The 1864-L has a distinct, pointed bust so that even low-grade coins with the "L" worn off can be easily identified." http://www.coinfacts.com/small_cent...64l_cent.htm Edited by oih82w8 04/01/2013 11:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

beaglebailey Pillar of the Community United States 716 Posts	Posted 04/01/2013 11:35 am I think it could be an a S-4. Good eye. Its difficult to see all the diagnotics due to the wear on the coin. The diganotics are all 4 numbers are repunched to the north. Date is positioned to the right of the point of the bust. Also the 1 and 8 is supposed to have a slight repunch to the south.
