Vyceloch New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 10:55 pm I just got a microscope in the mail today and was excited to see this: Any opinions on what variety this is and if it is indeed a 1864 'L'? Is there a way to determine the rarity? Would this coin be worth sending in to a grading service? I've been collecting since the late 80's, but have recently found a renewed interest. Here is the full coin: I apologize in advance if I'm posting something obvious or asking a dumb question (as a Coin Community novice). Thanks for your input! - Vyce Edited by Vyceloch 07/15/2019 10:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 08:53 am This is most likely S-10a, but could be S-10b (they share the same obverse). Is the reverse in normal "upside down" alignment? Report this Post to the Staff
Vyceloch New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 07/16/2019 11:08 am Thanks, John1 and GrapeCollects! Coinfrog, it does have the normal reverse, so I'm guessing it's a S-10a. Would this mean there should be a die crack on the reverse? I appreciate the help! Report this Post to the Staff
