yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 2:54 pm Trolling for buys online, I spotted this 1859 cent with what looked like a repunched 5. When I looked closely I saw it was one of the best strikes I've ever seen - and in very fine plus condition. I bought it for under 20 dollars from a large selection of coins run by some corporation just interested in selling a lot of coins. It was obvious they were not into varieties. lucky me. Picture is on p. 298 of variety guide. Edited by yontan 04/16/2022 8:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5605 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 4:09 pm Nice find. I always like the nicely offset 5's. Your coin is not XF close but not there It also has corrosion and a nasty spot on the Obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 8:20 pm I was excited. I also had looked at a repunched 9, but this repunched 5 is the one I really like. The coin is, as you point out, about a VF+, not EF, but any nasty spots are simply dark spots, which don't bother me. For what I paid, I'll take dark spots. Thanks for the feedback.
