This is my newest IHC. I've been waiting for a decent "L" variety that I could add to my collection. For a while I didn't realize that all the 1864 Bronze, Pointed Bust coins have (or had) an "L". The 1864 "No L" coins, only have the rounded bust. The copper/nickle variety have a rounded bust. My other 1864 Bronze coin must be an "L" variety because it has the pointed bust design. Whew, I thought I'd never get this straight.
Nice looking coin in that hard to find collectible grade. These types of midgrade coins are always tough to locate.
very nice, and yes all pointed busts are an L type, but most say they don't count unless you can see the L
Twiggs: The L is on the ribbon on the Indian's neck. Check your Guide Book, they have a nice picture of the L and its location.
