Hi,

Recently got a CCCS 1859 VF-30 with this mention Wide 9 Over Narrow 9, medal.

Where can I found more detail about this variety?

Thanks

You'll have to find the correct one visually, as there are many DP 9's. Since the last 9 was handpunched into the blank "185" die, there are many overstrikes. Make sure that it's not a 9/8. It would help with a photo so we can tell you what it is.

You can also look in the 2011 Charlton 65th edition for some of them.

Adding to okie's comments. There is a website dedicated to 1859 cents: https://www.vickycents.com, currently there are 41 reverse dies with the 9 reengraved or repunched.

If it is a 9 over 8, then you'll need Rob Turner's book on the overdates, currently about 19 known reverse dies.

Please post a good clear photo of the full date.

edit to add: the "wide" 9 was only used on the overdate cents. Die wear and circulation can make the 9 look wide.

That looks like a 9 over 8. Specifically Reverse Die RD6.

You'll need Rob Turner's book on the over dates. He is Bosox on the forum. If you are a RCNA member, some of his articles are available on the member pages of the RCNA site. I'll ping Rob to let him know.
