Great looking coin and yes very tough to find EF40
Are you sure this is a #2 though, I think this is a 9/9 #1.
Cheers, Bill

Viper I took another look on Dr. Haxby's site and I still think you have them mixed up.
PC59 421 obverse 42 reverse I4 is 9/9 #1
PC59 45a1 obverse 45a reverse I7 is 9/9 #2
Cheers, Bill

Bill I call it #2 because it is 45a+I7 that is in the Charlton so to me that is #1 and not the 42+I4? Sorry if their is any confusion!

Any thoughts on getting the coin graded? I'm not sure who you could send it to that would recognize it as a 1859 9/6 Type 1.

Marcel's coin is 42+I4. Two convenient markers are the repunched 5 and the thin bridge of metal (like a die break) vertically across the "bay" of Leaf 9 (where Stem 9 intersects the leaf). 45a+I7 has neither the repunched 5 nor the bridge across the bay of Leaf 9. The presence of die cracks can also help. All I7 examples I've seen have a crack to Leaf 12. Marcel's I4 seems to have a crack to the stem of I5, although my I4 is an earlier state and has no cracks.
Now, in my catalog I call die I4 #1 and I7 #2. I4 was the first such die I discovered (in the early 1970s). It was a few years later that I found I7 and so named it #2 and I4 #1. I had no input in the Charlton listings of these varieties and can't remember what was done there. I'm reorganizing my library and my Charlton catalogs are packed!
