winterhawk Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 11/23/2023 1:51 pm I've been searching the site for markers for this coin, not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can find it? Seems like I read somewhere that the last 'E' in UNITED and the 'F' in of are two of them but can't recall the others. Thanks, Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1858 Posts	Posted 11/23/2023 2:30 pm Inside the O on the word OF, the upper and bottom parts should be flat or square as opposed to rounded. The serifs on the E's and F are pronounced and elongated. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...1a-pl/888436 Report this Post to the Staff

winterhawk Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 11/26/2023 3:01 pm Just finished pics this morning. I believe it's an 1857 obv of 1856 ChVF++ maybe XF. A little darker and much nicer in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
