Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 8:49 pm That's a tough one. Maybe an early state of PC59-102 ( 10+E12a ) The stem to leaf 9 looks closer to reverse E12a than anything else. That's my best guess. Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 9:51 pm Narrowed it down to Group E by Vine loop #7 (Narrow Gap), then Vine loop #2 (looks original) That gives Group E Then I found a few repunched Obverses that match the Repunched C in Canada (the only repunched letter) That gave me: PC59-191 (Group E) and PC59-56a1 (Group J) Since it's in Group E, my conclusion is that your coin is a PC59-191 Hope this helps (don't take my word as a definitive expert, I've only attributed 5 before) Report this Post to the Staff
GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 9:57 pm If nothing else, I'm extremely confident it's in group E just like Phil310 found. Report this Post to the Staff

GregJG Valued Member Canada 257 Posts	Posted 04/01/2016 11:28 pm Wow I was completely off in my methodology of narrowing it down. I agree with you and Phil310 Report this Post to the Staff

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 04/02/2016 05:27 am You were definitely on the right track GregJG. For only your 6th attribution attempt, you did very well. I looked at the same features you did, but was not sure about the extent of the repunching on the C. There are a lot of obverses that have the repunched C of CANADA, including obverses 10 and 19. The stem to leaf 9 is always a good place to go to nail down an attribution, especially when there are no die cracks to help. It is different on every reverse die. The 1859's are fun to study, thanks to Dr. Haxby's website. There are still new dies to be discovered, so keep on attributing. You may find one! Report this Post to the Staff

You guys are very good to be able to close in on it though.. Report this Post to the Staff
