<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1889311, member: 8797&quot;]cn is copper nickel, as that was composition during civil war years. 1864 was a transitional year for the cent. From CN back to 95% copper, then a design change or L. There is a tiny L (for Longacre) turned horizontally within the ribbon behind the neck, but the variety is more readily distinguished by its &quot;pointy&quot; left base of the bust. The copper 1864 non-L has a more rounded left base of the bust.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
