Picked this one up recently, 1858 Full Vine and 15 Stems, Dies OA1-RA4. A very hard-to-find coin. This one had a small touch of verdigris on the obverse, but it came off easily and I think it will straight grade.

Sorry about the photo quality. I am not at home, and these were taken with my cell phone. I'll try to post better images down the road.

Very nice coin. Are there stems at 4 & 7? Hard to tell from the foto.

As I said sorry about the lousy cell phone photos. Yes, there is a full vine and 15 intact stems, plus the broken one to Leaf #9.

The first three reverse dies sunk in 1858 had a full vine and 16 intact stems. This was the fourth reverse die sunk in 1858. The broken stem to Leaf #9 was an omen of things to come for Wyon's fragile reverse punch.
