@westy00 - all 1859 dated cents are narrow 9. The wide 9 was only used on the over dates 1859/8.

I agree with @fourmack that your coin is Haxby PC59-47: https://www.vickycents.com/rev-e25b.html

Segregate them by monarch and put them on eBay. You'll more than face plus shipping.

George V, George VI, Elizabeth II young head, Elizabeth II 1965-1996. After 1996 bring them to bank.

Resurrecting an old thread. Over the years I've found several coins that look like the OP's coin. Always figured it was die deterioration. But I also have a few like these shown below. Have not found a photo that identifies what a 6/6 should look like. I think these are MD. Do you agree?

Two weeks ago I bought a hoard of nickels (over 150 lbs). First I segregated them by monarch/type. Tonight while searching the QEII young heads, I found this one. Doing the happy dance !

Sorry, no photos. The main die markers are the doubled bow to the left which is like LC-2A3 and the curved forked palm leaf to the right of the reverse bow (looks like the letter y).

Dr. Joseph LeRoux published a catalogue in 1892. It was reprinted in 1983. Here is a link to a copy on eBay.

I agree, it's Lees 32. Other differences in the die markers:

Lees 32 has the "cut knob &" vs. Lees 33 has the "round knob &"
Lees 32 has a nicked 1st E in COMMERCE on the left just below the top cross bar
Lees 33 has a nicked L in COLONIES on the right just below the cross bar and another on the left above the bottom serif

@Gebs - I agree LC-60-11 in EF-AU possibly cleaned as it looks a bit pink on my monitor. Nice photos and addition.

The color under the stamp is the same or darker than the surface of the token. The hole is drilled and its edges are also the same color as the token.

Thanks @Sap - I found the store in Alabama. It is a department store with no obvious link to a steel mill. I correct my OP to add the 's.

The search continues ...

The white is talcum powder I applied to help the stamp stand out.

Picked this one up at the NYINC yesterday. PC59-46 DP9#4 but not noted on the label, so, got it for cheap. Die state 4 with the collapse at the 9 and the heavy die crack at leaf 7. One can see the tail of the underlying 9 to the lower right and the distinctive repunch of the 5.

Those kind of holders (Capital Plastics, I believe) are prone to bronze cents pretty colors.

Find a copy of Charlton's Catalogue of Canadian Coins, volume 1, Numismatic Issues. There a several coins that meet your requirements.

Volume 2 lists the NCLT issues which has hundreds more.
