Maine_Jim Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 9:39 pm Picked this up today off ebay and wondered if it's the "L" version or not. Wasn't sure and the price was right. Don't have in hand yet but am putting together a circulation set so it fits either way. Thanks Maine_Jim Report this Post to the Staff

Maine_Jim Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 10:07 pm I couldn't decide if it was pointing or not - seemed a bit pointy Maine_Jim Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 10:19 pm I will show where the L is supposed to be if its there, maybe you can look yourself with magnification to see if you see one (the one pictures is a Large "L" over Small "L" but still the same place Report this Post to the Staff
Maine_Jim Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/26/2009 10:49 pm Can't miss it on your coin. I was just shooting for a bronze coin to fill a slot. If it has an L that would be a bonus. I have a feeling that if this coin had an L like it disappeared long ago from circulation. This brings up the question of is it an L coin even if the L has been worn off?
