Re: 1859
Oh ... so many working dies and so many breaking and so many slightly repunched ... it's too much to ask to find a perfect one so what to do; what to do? Repunches of the 5&8 are fairly common and I think that the bottom of the one is a tad offset as well. At least on this one, the guy with the hammer got the 9 perfect a few times in a row.

Re: 1859
Bill I always appreciate your input... honestly I'm not much of a coin guy.... especially if you fill a room full of coin guys I'm definetly the odd ball out on knowledge.... but every time I read what you have to say.. it just opens up a whole new world ....
Ohh yeah.. and I curse your name as I am now buying a LOT of pennies! Fallen in love with large cents... you know of any books dedicated just to large cents?
