Doctor Haxby Vicky Cents web site is the best source for
attributing narrow 59 large cents. He attributed hundreds
of die marriages. It is important to read the introduction,
especially chapter 3. The site is user friendly -- it has to
be for me to use it.

47P7 I felt the same way - at first. I started with the easy ones with obvious die breaks. After doing about a 100 or so it became very easy to use the system. It is a great way to identify and catalogue your 59's. I am thankful to Dr. Haxby for providing this great tool for our use.

Nice find!

See g4, g6 & vg8 as being to low of grades.

Curious to know what grade you put to the coin, 47P7?

Dr. Haxby's site is fantastic! Every '59 I get is a new adventure. A big "thanks" for all the entertainment it has given me!

Bellmaker, I grade that coin at a VG10, perhaps even a F.
I have the advantage of having it in hand. It will soon, together with about 30 other 1859s and a whole bunch of other Vickies , wing its way to ICCS. Decided it is worth it having that opinion when selling.

Will be interested to learn what grade ICCS assigns the coin.
