desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 08/31/2008 5:11 pm Thanks Morgans, I got off track on my VAM searches to look at my 3CN groups again This one is easy to spot with the naked eye...I am always looking. The last 2 shots were taken with my new Canon 590IS though the eyepiece of my stereo microscope. I really like this camera. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 2:14 pm The punch of the 1 (w) is pretty dramatic! So I'm guessing the raised features (w) of the 6 and 5 correspond... I don't know 3CN varieties, so I'll just guess it's an 1865/1865(w)? Report this Post to the Staff
desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 3:44 pm Hi Kurt, Yes, all 4 numbers are repunched. The 8 is hardest to see as just a curve on the upper left of the top loop. Also there is repolishing around the ear,giving a spike like line through the ear. The CP guide says it is well known in the proofs, but rare in business strikes. Jim Report this Post to the Staff

desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 10:40 pm Hi! Most tend to look for the 3CN for a "type" coin and don't really look at them as possible varieties. I would like to find a hoard sometime On ebay, they are always shown so small, it's hard to see and variety. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
