wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 10:36 pm gidjit...I ran your coin through one of my software programs and the "yellow" arrows show what looks like a double "5". but what is the "red" arrow pointing to...Is there a doubling on your coin that we don't know about where the red arrow is, or is my program imaging it..? BTW...beautiful coin... Edited by wert 07/20/2014 10:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 11:11 pm Great work! I agree with simple doubling on the 5 and 9. I cannot see a 9/8. Rob Turner's books are the ultimate guide to each and every die ever used for the 1858 and 1859 cents----but pricy, $160. Report this Post to the Staff
