SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 5:51 pm For this one, I had three instances of Haxby open, one each for the G & T of GRATIA, and one for the G of REGINA. I then explored the obverses common to all three. Never even noticed the early crack at Leaf 11 until later on. Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 8:33 pm I can only urge everyone to learn the group sorting aids found under ID my coin heading. Once you know these you can eliminate more then half the coins it then becomes that much easier to reach the correct ID. Of course it can be done many ways but once you know these it's much faster and if you know them and use them it can be done at a glance. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/08/2017 12:12 am 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?" Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/09/2017 8:32 pm Quote: 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.." Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/09/2017 8:38 pm Quote: Nobody ---- I have it as PC59-721 That's what I had it as. The new one was quite easy; the crack through the C in VICTORIA is definitive for 80a1 (80a4 + P18-7?). 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. Report this Post to the Staff

Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 09/10/2017 6:37 pm I wont give it away but it's a very late die state for this coin. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/10/2017 9:29 pm Quote: I wont give it away but it's a very late die state for this coin. Obverse letters drawing hard towards the rim; this die lived a full life. The cracks are still sufficient to attribute it, though. 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. Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 09/11/2017 11:11 am 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 Report this Post to the Staff
