Well I think that it's a VF-30. I'm not into the Haxby die numbers. It's hard to believe that the 2 Reverse photos are the same coin.

Thanks again sir. Yeah they are the same coin I assure you. The head on shot wouldnt show the field marks, so angle and lighting showed on the second shot.the obverse is really nice, but the reverse is bringing down the overall grade... to me anyways.

it looks like the photos have been processed with some sort of smoothing filter / art effect.
NP, are these raw shots?

Hi there.
I've never seen one of these before.
I've noticed something interesting on your coin.
I'm guessing that is an olive branch running through her hair.
In the second to the last picture,
look where the Stem ends.
Something raised there outside of the design and next to that looks like a faint o even though it looks more like a zero to me.
Zoom way in!
Is it okay to point out the things that I see on other people's posts ?

She has a laurel wreath in her hair and I don't know what you mean about where the stem ends ... on the Obverse (portrait side) or the reverse where there are 16 stems on the maple leaves.

@okiecoiner Sorry about not being clearer about where I see what I do. I downloaded the OP's pic and highlighted the area in question. I hope that is okay. It may be Pareidolia. Not sure.  EE |

Do a search for 1858 or '59 cents in this variety subforum and you'll see all kinds of Obv portrait examples. They all seem to have something where you have pointed out. It may be a piece of hair or ribbon or leaf lobe or something. It can't be a die chip because they all (the dies) seem to have something there. It may have been a chip off the hub that struck the dies. I guess we'll never know.

Thanks for the input on my photos. I am just using my phone camera no filters but obviously terrible lighting. Ill adjust and try to do better.
