DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 4:08 pm it looks like a clash of the reverse wreath to the obverse field. This is pretty common on IHCs, but yours is stronger than most. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 11:06 pm Looks like a CuNi cent to me - not the bronze 'L' style. Anyway, it has a rounded bust-end...the 'L' version has a pointed bust-end. Report this Post to the Staff
twilight63 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 11:50 pm The pic is of a first year bronze. Not a "L". Three 1864's where produced that year. 1- The last of the copper nickels 2- The first bronze w/rounded bust(as pictured with the heavy die clash) 3- The pointed bust "L' was allowed towards the end of the year.
