Very few collectors recognize or care about that, but to me it makes the 1908-S cent special.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1199419[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1199421[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Among the others, the 1859 was the first so that one is special.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1199424[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1199425[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1864 Plain is really a minor type. These coins were struck from dies that were intended for the copper-nickel cents before the change to Bronze.
