09rich15 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 4:45 pm I have this 1864-L Indian Head cent that I picked up last year. The "F" is missing in the legend and it has a die break on the rim. My question is: is this a common error and does it effect the value of the coin in any way? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/28/2018 5:54 pm The missing F could be the result of a grease-filled die. A critical value determinant on this coin, however, is the environmental damage, which will hold the value down considerably. to the CCF!
