Hello. Can you help me with this coin? I think position of the date and very weak "N" of word "ONE" are quite unique and could be helpful here. I saw at PCGS 1c 1864-L site one coin, with similar diagnostics (first AU58 coin after AU50), but there is no Snow variety described for this example. I hope you can help me. Thank you.   |

The "N" in one is not weak. It was part of the hub design for the date and all coins from 1864 in Bronze will exhibit this feature. When coins start to get wear like this one, it will really make the N look weak, but this is common and should be expected.
I cannot see a RPD, though there are plenty of them this year.

I don't see an L or a pointed bust on this coin either.

It might be a pointed bust, looks like it's flattened a little. And I think I see what could be the L, but I might be seeing things in expectation.

I don't think it is an 1864-L

This looks like a 64L to me. Just no variety.

I see the 'L'. The coin looks weakly struck especially on the lower left of the obverse, and maybe the bust doesn't look as pointed as it should

The bust looks like it took a hit and got flattened a bit.
