hi, I have an 1861 penny, which sadly is in really poor condition so a lot of the identifiers are worn away. I know there are many different variations of this year and would appreciate your combine experience to identify which one mine is.

Please see the photos, ( apologies for the quality).

2 things I have noted are that the L.C. WYON appears to be below the truncation and the ‘N’ in ONE is abnormal.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a standard Freeman 22 to me, though as you say the indicators are not all clear. The ‘N’ is just bruised and worn.

Yep, standard 4+D die pair - very common. The N indeed is just flattened through extreme wear. Nothing special here, I'm afraid.
