Ianb26 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 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. Quote
jelida Posted May 31 Posted May 31 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. Jerry Quote
Martinminerva Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Yep, standard 4+D die pair - very common. The N indeed is just flattened through extreme wear. Nothing special here, I'm afraid. Quote
