fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1675 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 10:22 pm Sorry cannot tell what it is as the pics are out of focus ---try for sharper photo's and no to the wide 9 Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut.

1960NYGiants Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 03/13/2023 11:39 pm @westy00 - all 1859 dated cents are narrow 9. The wide 9 was only used on the over dates 1859/8. I agree with @fourmack that your coin is Haxby PC59-47: https://www.vickycents.com/rev-e25b.html LM of RCNA Member of CATC Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 2:14 pm Where do I find rarity of the coin with these errors? Report this Post to the Staff
fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1675 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 2:22 pm Haxby PC59-47 is a common variety R1 --keep finding them and listing as you never know as 1 is listed at $10,000 only 4 known I think.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5357 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 3:58 pm Here's the specific Haxby link for rarity. If you go to the main site, you will find this and other great info in the "articles" section https://www.vickycents.com/rarity-r...article.html Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1071 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 6:20 pm I think your coin is Obverse 10 + reverse E12a. Die pair PC59-23. The 1 and 8 seem to match and stem to leaf 9 matches better than the E25b. Still need better photos to be sure though. Report this Post to the Staff
fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1675 Posts	Posted 03/14/2023 6:49 pm I agree with Phil310 PC59-23 rarity- still a common R1 Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 2:00 pm OK I just received the penny here are some better pictures I think. Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1071 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 3:56 pm Is there a die crack to the tip of leaf 7 as shown in the Haxby catalog? https://www.vickycents.com/rev-e12a.html If there is, that would confirm that it is Rev E12a. The obverse should then match Obverse 10. I still believe it is 10+E12a based on the re-punched 1 and the shape of the stem to leaf 9. Report this Post to the Staff
westy00 Valued Member Canada 335 Posts	Posted 03/16/2023 4:22 pm More pictures I don't see a crack Like the haxby pic ? Turns out the 5 is a re strike as well . Report this Post to the Staff
