Why does it seem that people destroy decent dated coins ? Oh well ! http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums.../1859rev.jpg http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums.../1859obv.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

How can you tell from the destroyed obverse that this is a 1859 dated coin? David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 04/14/2010 9:00 pm That reverse (Laurel Wreath) was unique to the 1859. Starting in 1860, it switched to Oak Wreath with a Shield at the top. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
oimcoins Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 04/14/2010 10:06 pm Right. 1859 is a One-Year type, meaning something on the design was changed the next year. The Laurel Wreath is what makes it different. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 04/15/2010 12:22 am I just had a contest with a 1859 Indian cent that would have been AU condition but someone took something and scraped the reverse and left pretty harsh scratched over "One" in One Cent. here are pictures of the coin in the conest I ran if you look closely on the Reverse you can see the scratches. Ruined the coin in my opinion and could not put it in my 7070 album because of it Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 04/15/2010 02:41 am its not mine any longer. I had a giveaway and already sent it off to the winner. I couldn't put it in the album because of the problems. I am trying to keep it problem free, especially anything with major problems like that one had. I really cant seem to find a place in my collection for problem coins at all even if not going in an album Report this Post to the Staff
