fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3638 Posts	Posted 10/20/2025 12:42 pm I agree with VG-10 details. In Bill Bugert's guidebook, it looks like your coin is 1856-O WB-16, Obverse die 10 (key marker is the die crack from Liberty's hand through the first star) and Reverse H (the second use of this die, the key markers are the mm position and the parallel diagonal scratches from the olive to the eagle's right wing, our visual left).

The dull ones photograph better... fortcollins, thank you, that is extremely appreciated! I'd seen the cracks but was unaware of where to look for reference material for these.
