Tomten Valued Member Sweden 159 Posts	Posted 11/29/2010 09:53 am Hey there! I need some help from the more cunning people.. I've got two 1 cents from 1859. I know there are loads of different versions of the "9" and such, however I don't have any knowledge at all about it really. I think one of the coins is Brass and one is Bronze, since they have different colours, but might be because being worned in different way I don't know.. I'll try to provide good pictures that are zoomable.. I don't really know how to spot double-strikes and such. 1st coin: http://img571.imageshack.us/i/1859.jpg/ http://img217.imageshack.us/i/1stk.jpg/ 2nd: http://img638.imageshack.us/i/18591.jpg/ http://img443.imageshack.us/i/2nd0.jpg/ Thanks for any help.

Tomten Valued Member Sweden 159 Posts	Posted 11/29/2010 2:05 pm Thanks for the welcoming! And that was really stupid of me. I've posted same topic on some other coinforum without any answer so I copied and pasted.. It didn't get the whole link ;) Edited by Tomten 11/29/2010 2:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

More light, and better focus would make a lot of difference. Don;'t be afrais to ask for help. There are many members here, who can help you "ge it rightt". I am not one of them, unfortunately. I still have much to learn, and this forum is the place. Super Dave, can be a LOT of help. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
Tomten Valued Member Sweden 159 Posts	Posted 11/29/2010 3:27 pm Thanks again! I'm taking pictures with a 10mpx camera, but I'm not sure which settings is the best this type of photographing. However I should be able to get better light! I'm glad to hear that there are helpful members here! I bet I have a few hundred coins I can't ID or just won't spend the hours on the internet searching for the right ID.. I sat 6 hours today just taking pictures of coins from various countries and sorting them up. Real messy and timeconsuming! Thanks for any help, I'll reply with better pictures tomorrow.

R2bR2c Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 12/12/2010 07:41 am Neither is a brass coin .. just regular bronze and no significant variety, as far as I can tell from the pics. 1859's are just neat to have and compare with other like dates .. it's hard to find 2 that are excatly the same because of all the minting problems and die repairs made!
