Especially on the reverse where the attribution points are located but if I enlarge the pic on my mac I am pretty sure I see the lines around T in cent that should be there for an N-42. Date position looks right for it also. Anyone agree or disagree? I plan on sending it to Grellman. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1848-Large...AOSwdq5f6m1a Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 12/29/2020 9:29 pm I don't think it's N-42. The T is slightly tilted, and the date position doesn't look quite right. But I'm not sure which one it is. Report this Post to the Staff

jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 10:27 am Date position is 703466 for both N-15 and N-42. There are 8 die varieties that have 0 for second # which this coin definitely has. The third number has to do with first 1 and the bust. That looks like a 3 to me being even with the bottom of bust. First # can be a bit trickier as far as left to right orientation of first 1 to the bust but 7 looked reasonable to me also. When I looked at the dies starting with 8 there are no third #'s lower than a 5 which would put the first 1 lower to bust than this coin. Looking forward to seeing this coin in hand and having it checked out by Mr. Grellman. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/30/2020 4:46 pm I did a little forensic work on the horrible images, maybe this will help? They were pretty bad over all, I can't do much with the reverse as there is a lot of handheld shake in the image. But at least you can see most of the features clearly now.
