1859 Penny

Most (if not all) of the markers are pretty obscured from our view.

Why not clean out the loop in and around the 9 with a tooth brush and get a blow up of it in here..?

The loop in the vine at leaf #2 can be a key marker but it's too chewed up at this point to be sure from these pics.

Is the "C" in CANADA tripled or quadrupled by chance?

From the condition of the coin, I can not discern any diagnostic
markers to identify this as anything beyond a narrow 9 variety.
In this condition, little can be done to adversely diminish the
value of the coin.

Is this a valuable variety? Thanks 47P7

Best is if you Buy yourself a Charlton book

Pacific, I do have a few hundred. Some really good varieties, some only simple N9s, and some even with holes!
others have that "brass look"----only! and some look like they have gone through 1859-coin banger.
However, quite a few have a ICCS MS DP#*** designation and as such, they are really getting the '1859 queens treatment'
Pacific, when is the big show in Victown. will you have a table there?
Is it worth going?
