<p>[QUOTE="bohica, post: 29588, member: 80"]Look at the "9" in 1859. The 1859 narrow 9 looks like a normal number 9, well defined with good seperation of the "tail" from the upper 'body". All others have thicker tails with little or no seperation from the body. The double-punched narrow 9 #2 will have traces of the original 9 on the left side of the numeral. You'll probably need at least 5x magnification and coins that have little wear to see the differences. Good Luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
