papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1922 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 12:42 pm I think I might have found a 1859 inverted 9 but the invert and die crack at leaf 12 are very faint what are you thoughts and opinion on this coin? Edited by papeldog 12/21/2017 3:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5460 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 2:48 pm Yes, I think that it an inverted 9(6). The other markers are there (C in Canada, special vine break at 2), but I don't see the D/C at 12. However, if this was a later strike with this die, the underpunch inside the loop and in the gap seems to almost disappear, as is this one. All of what should be impressions of the underpunch on the die are being flattened out or worn down to the field level. I had some of them that were F-15 that showed the underpunch much better than an XF one. I think that it made a difference on when in the striking cycle that the coin was made.

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1096 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 2:59 pm Papeldog, I think you've got a 9/6 there, but I think it's the other one (the 421 42+I4) The repunch on the top of the C in CANADA looks more like 42 than 45a. Check around where the stem enters leaf 9 and see if the pinchers of obverse I4 may be covered by gunk. Nice find!! There's also a small slip above the midvein of leaf 9 on the I7 reverse which I don't see on your coin. Also the 5 shows doubling at the top, like the I4.

papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1922 Posts	Posted 12/21/2017 3:22 pm Yes Phil310 you are correct it is a 421 42+I4 right at the base of leaf 9 where the stem enters looks like a vertical die crack same as 421 42+I4 also right at the higher part of leaf 12 left side the horizontal die crack is just starting going towards the outer part of the coin off the tip of point on leaf Report this Post to the Staff
