There is a small "L" at the bottom of the denomination side. Thanks! Edited by Sap 07/23/2008 03:27 am Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/22/2008 11:58 am Nifty, where did you pick that up? These are second restrike cents made with transfer copy dies, i.e. dies recreated from the original defaced dies, that is why it looks "damaged". About 20,000 coppers were minted in the 60s for the 100th anniversary. However, souvenir examples exist and were struck with new undamaged dies and an 1862 date. The design on those examples is not quite faithful to the original and they look a bit "tokeny" IMO. http://www.rebelstatescurrency.com/bashlow.html Report this Post to the Staff
