<p>[QUOTE="Bill in Burl, post: 1467965, member: 23692"]Yes, that is a 9/8. There is no generic 9/8 .. there were 13 different working dies that made coins with a 9 handpunched over an 1858 die. Every one of the 13 is slightly different. As far as the "vickycents" website goes, it is a valuable tool if you want to go deep deep into the ID of each working die, but it wades in very far concentrating on the die itself rather than the variety. . If you just want an overview and photo of the more collectible varieties for the large cents, then go to Dan's website <a href="http://www.piczo.com/Dan-in-Crystal-Lake?cr=6#" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.piczo.com/Dan-in-Crystal-Lake?cr=6#" rel="nofollow">http://www.piczo.com/Dan-in-Crystal-Lake?cr=6#</a> or Rob Turner's site <a href="http://www.victoriancent.com/index.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.victoriancent.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.victoriancent.com/index.html</a> . You can also pick up a copy of the 2011 Charlton guide (65th edition) that will give you 80 Vicky varieties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
