nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 3:09 pm It looks like a P group reverse as it has a wide gap at vine loop 7 and a missing stem on leaf 10. Are there any visible die cracks? Also some clear straight on views would be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
KLTCOINS New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 4:53 pm I'll add a few more pictures forgive me for the quality they're taken with a cell phone because my camera is in the shop. The first picture is where the loops gap. There is a noticeable Die Crack where the top of the wreath connects to the dot. Report this Post to the Staff
nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 08/07/2012 8:48 pm The gap at vine loop 13 is present on all the 1859 N9 cents so it is not very helpful. There are about 24 obverses paired with various P group reverses that narrows things down from 102 possible obverses. My suggestion is try the vickycents.com site and carefully compare photos with repunched letters on obverse to see which one matches. I will be gone for a few days but if you post clear photos later I would be very happy to help some more. Note the C and N in CANADA as well as the G and E and T and R in other words are good places to start looking for slight variations, enjoy.
