darcyrmt Valued Member Canada 202 Posts	Posted 11/29/2020 7:27 pm Hello, someone brought this to me with the usual story again that "old" = "valuable".. I have never been into large cents so I haven't had an 1859 in my hand. I know the colouring is pretty harsh, I'm pretty sure it was cleaned in the past? But about the date - my Charlton is a 2013 Vol.1 for Numismatic Issues. In it, they mention a few different punch varieties, but mention there are many more. It isn't one of the exotic varieties in my mind, how about someone else's? And in a general sense, I don't see this as more than a VF-xx.. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 12/02/2020 11:38 am I believe your coin is Haxby # PC59-154 ( Obverse die 45a + Reverse die J3d ) It has some discoloration, but looks AU. Can you post a close-up photo of reverse leaves 8 and 9. There may be a light die crack at leaf 8. There are some Chinese counterfeits made from the 45a obverse die in about the same die state. If genuine, and I believe it probably is, it is a scarce die pair. Maybe Dan in Crystal Lake if he sees this post could comment if he has seen any counterfeits like this one. Usually I don't think they have the J3d reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a photo of leaf 8-9 on a coin I have. Notice the slip above the mid-vein on leaf 9 and the faint die crack at leaf 8. Report this Post to the Staff
