Glad to see these old large cents get the juices flowing. Without coin in hand as it is very worn still looks like a 166. I looked at a few old auction catologs could not see anything close. I love these kind of coins because we can all afford them :thumb:. Ron

 

I thought I'd give my pictures of my 166 reverses for comparison.

 

Just moving your picture closer for comparison.

 

OK, I concede. Once you rotated the reverse into the correct upright position it became clear. Believe it or not in the original picture I was seeing the left ribbon as the 1 (since it was vertical), and the left stem and the actual 1 as the left and right ribbons.
