Looking for a few examples of aUS large cent

The die state that this coin is in does not have the line.

I don't know where your looking, but it should not have a die crack in "MRIC". Please compare your coin to the line drawing.

 

What book are you using for your attributions? Mine lists it as an upright 56.

 

I’m not sure which is correct. CoinFacts also uses the slant 5 as N-4

 

Sorry, double post.

 

I am using the 2001 edition of "The Die Varieties of United States Large Cents 1840-1857" by John R. Grellman. Could it have possibly changed through the editions?

 

That or a mechanical error, but on which one? Since CoinFacts shows several varieties for both the Upright and Slanted and have the N-4 listed with the Slanted I’m leaning toward that. But it’s certainly not definitive until another expert chimes in.

 

I was reading that same book and I thought it said a die crack from the M to the A in America.
