Normally, I do not have problem with recognize L or no L type, but with this I'm not sure. I know that picture isn't too good, but I believe that you can help me. It is not my coin and photo. Thank you guys. Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 06/21/2013 8:36 pm It has no L and is copper-nickel hence it has a rounded not pointed bust. Have you tried to find a picture of a pointed bust 1864 L copper cent to compare it with yours? Ed ANA LM-3175 Report this Post to the Staff
thusdayclub Valued Member Poland 263 Posts	Posted 06/21/2013 8:44 pm Yes, I found these: http://www.davidlawrence.com/invent...lotid/554400 http://www.davidlawrence.com/invent.../Small-Cents With the first one bust looks more thicker than second. When I was buying my coin, it seemed to me that it is this variety. Report this Post to the Staff
