<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 1609717, member: 2972&quot;]Somehow I ended up with two examples of the 1855....&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>First, a very lustrous and original-looking brown example.&nbsp; If memory serves, I got this coin from Mark Feld.&nbsp; It was graded by PCGS 65 BN (CAC).</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663309/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663310/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Second, a nice RB example.&nbsp; Believe it or not, PCGS graded the coin graded 63RB.&nbsp; I might argue it&#039;s one point higher, but the spots on the obverse are likely the limiting factor.&nbsp; It also has an area struck through what looks like grease on the reverse.</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663307/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663308/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If got a few 1856s.&nbsp; None are particularly high grade.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a raw &quot;upright 5&quot;(N-9)</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/56055684/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/56055707/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another raw example, this time showing the &quot;slanted 5&quot; (N-14):</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51507963/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/51508132/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And the last of the series, here&#039;s a coin I no longer own, a large date that PCGS graded MS 64 RB:</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663311/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/113663312/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
