Hi, I bought this cent on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...56&rd=1&rd=1 Its an L penny they were saying. I bought it since I needed for set. I feel stupid can an person check it and explain to me what is the Diffance between the 1864 cent and 1864 l penny. I am confused when they talking about ribbon and the l showing. I need to learn these things since I am building an penny set. Later I will need help on the 1858 small leters and large letters cents. On ebay I been looking at all 1864 pennys to try see what they are talking about. I am stumped on this thing. Thanks Chevrolet454ss |

They are talking about the headress ban, the L is the first letter for liberty which is on the ban of every Indian Head cent. KOCT#56 |

It seems to have the pointed bust, also a design change with the addition of the L.
I's say yes, but the pictures are very small.

Can someone post a set of pictures so I can see what they are talking about?

Isn't it also true that the last feathers position on the head dress is a give away. I noticed the feather can be pointing between the C-A in America on the 1964. Where as the feather points between the I-C on the 1964L. Is this true for all 1964s?

OrDirtDevil,
I looked at several examples and the last feather points to the same general direction in each at about 10:00 on the 'C'. Do you have pics of the lower-pointing feather?

Maybe I need glasses. I dunno. But that L doesn't look like an L to me. It's really difficult to make out.

Hello chevrolet454s, It sure looks like the narrow bust point, but hard to tell from this small photo: Here is the location of the "L" on one of my coins, be sure to look the date over good, there are numerous double dates in that year.  Post a larger pic if possible. Later, |

Wow,
That's helps me to figure out the 1864l cent by daveyn. Its tough looking at that coin to to learn about them. Coin facts website was hard to see photos. I think I need to buy magnifier to help me see coins better. My camera is not all great on super small items.
Thanks again chevrolet454ss

Bobby,
That explains why I cant see it since It looks like you need an magnifier to see it since very small. I am going to buy an magnifier to help me see it.
Thanks I not confused anymore. You photo is clear and I understand it after your photo.

No wonder it didn't look like an L to me. It's sideways.  |
