Thanks for ID'ing the coin. I've got the book (U. S. Cents 1840-1857 by Grellman) but there must be something more to ID'ing that coin than just...
The label will be of help, but can you pin down the Newcomb Number? [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]

Update and Something Extra The Update: I looked closely (9x loupe) and the "light foggy area on the center of the reverse" is definitely NOT on...
