1886 Large Cent Obverse 1 Or 2

Different from all that I'm looking at.

There is a small gap between the bead and the bust making it an obv 1a, I would have thought..and there is a nice RP in the 6 from what I can see in these pics..

Could your example be the OC-2/OC-1a showing on p.317 in the 2011 Charlton ?

My example here also shows a gap between the beads and the bust,..but the gap does look a bit larger than your example above..

No nice RP in the 6 on my example though..







.

The coin on page 317 is not an OC-2/OC-1a. It is an OC1a with a re-punched 6. The page just compares the price to an 1886 OC2 coin. :)

It's an Obv 1a, definitely not a 2 or a 2/1. A 2/1 will have the neck truncation (the point) BETWEEN the 2 beads. This is directly above the C in Canada, making it just a 1a .. but still a VF-20 nice coin.
