tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 01/19/2013 10:12 am I recently picked up an interesting lot of 1859 large cents with lots of varieties. Have a look at the following pictures and let me know your thoughts. I've attributed the ones I recognize, but some of them I am not sure. All help and opinions are appreciated. Grade opinions are also appreciated. (I just ran into some uploading problems, so I will post 3 now and 3 later once I fix the problem) #1 The first one I believe is a 9 over 8. #2 The second one I'm not sure about. #3 the third one I'm not sure about either. At first I thought it was 9/8, but it doesn't look right. I'm thinking maybe 9 over inverted 9 Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 01/19/2013 11:01 am Holy crap! That last one is the rare 9/6... you can just see the edges of the top loop of the 6, inside the hole of the 9... Good eye! Here is a mint state example of the same coin: https://goccf.com/t/132326 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 01/19/2013 1:48 pm On the last coin, there are 2 different 9/6's. The first one shows quite well inside the loop. The second one really only shows the bridge. Based on what I see of the other markers, you have the 2nd, less well know 9/6. The link from SPP is to the well known one. Nice score!! The first one is a 9/8. There are 14 known reverses and 22 known die pairs. I believe you have one of the scarce ones, a Turner RD8/OG2. Also a nice score! The 2nd one is one of a handful of minor repunched 9's. You should be able to identify that one from the Haxby site, that is the go to place for '59s. Report this Post to the Staff

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 4:06 pm The second coin is Haxby PC59-45a8 http://www.vickycents.com/rev-k2a.html The die cracks at the I in DEI and the I in REGINA, as well as leaf 14 and 15 on the reverse clinch it. Another scarcer recut stem on leaf 8 coin. Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 01/22/2013 9:36 pm actually,after careful examination, I believe this to be the scarcer PC59-691 (69+O1). This coin does have stem 8, but it is missing stem 10, unlike the K grouping. It also has the mentioned die clash that is happening between the 5 and 9. I also believe this to be a very early die state as there are no die cracks evident. My bad. This coin DOES have stem 10. I confused it with the other one without first comparing it with the picture.
