Nelrak Pillar of the Community United States 974 Posts	Posted 08/20/2008 11:07 am I haven't studied this series enough to know what to look for. I have heard some dealers making a big deal about the "L" on the ribbon before. So is this only pertaining to the 1864? Is the "L" on all IHCs? Report this Post to the Staff

CuprousCoin Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 08/20/2008 11:21 am Longacre's initial was added late in the year of 1864, therefore most 1864 IHC's do not have the "L" thus making a 1864 IHC with the "L" slightly more rare. all IHC's after 1864 have the "L". Report this Post to the Staff
