    Just one other item about this 1856 my research shows for the year 1856 31 pairs of dies were used thats 31 Obv. And 31 Rev. To strike 4,880,000 pieces , records can be a bit incorrect as the records were not kept very well.
    I believed it to be a Valentine 3a
    However there's Breen who talks about a closed knob 6 and slanting 5
    Doubling seen most on 18 . So he attributes two colsed knobs 6 as 3292, and 3293, but.....there is another said Breen 1856 open 6 thin numerals, the 6 knob is away from the bottom loop of the 6. <3294>
    Acording to Breen only 28 die pairs were used....all closed 6
    So if this is an open 6 it is also a rarer die marriage most probably struck on the one of the other remaining die pairs 31 -28 = 3 pairs with thinner digits and an open 6.

    Pretty sure this one is the 6 thin numerals, the 6 knob is away from the bottom loop of the 6.

    These in the 1/2 1/4 &1/10 ozs are very low mintages.
    You can go to Bank of Mexico and the list the mintages.

    Very nice Cameo! Those are tough to find with nice frost on both sides like that.

    Thanks. I was a great pick up at a local show. It was covered with ugly milky haze. I removed the haze and a stunning coin emerged.

    I upgraded my 1968-S Jefferson for an investment of $1.81 plus 59 cents shipping.

    The mint mark looks repunched, but I don’t see any varieties listed for this year.

    I just won this on eBay. $49.25 with postage so it just slips into this thread.

    This is both a common R1 variety and Unique as a new Die State with both obverse and reverse showing numerous breaks and more severe pulling of stars and letters towards the rims than Noyes States D (obverse) and E (reverse) which is his terminal die state.

    Another inexpensive upgrade for $2.24 shipped.

    I had this 1961-D nickel
    05c 1961-D #01 full 05.jpg

    and replaced it with this one. The pictures fail to show the mirror-like quality of the surfaces. When I hold it to check the luster, I just see a reflection of my finger instead.

    Bought a set of NGC Old Fatty 1944-P-D-S Jefferson War Nickels for $22.75 per coin.

    The aquamarine toning on the 44-S is amazing, a color I've never seen on a war nickel before.

    Those are great looking coins. Love the toning but isn’t the blue/green on the ‘44-S PVC residue?

    The coin came in and has been cleaned. But I still can't tell if it's scratches or new die breaks made brighter by cleaning. Partially retoned. But I'm beginning to suspect the former since it appears to cross the dentils and wreath.
