So, in my tin I've noticed I have a better grade 1861 penny, now when I look it up in Spinks it appears to be 5-G which of course makes it worth quite a bit of money, but I'm afraid I may have misattributed it since what I've attributed it to seems to be a scarce combination. So is there a site with better pictures than Spinks has for the varieties?

Also, scans coming eventually, I can't get copper to turn out well on my phone and I don't have a scanner at home so I'll have to borrow one.

I don't yet have a 5 + G on my site, but if you could post pics I'm sure we could help. :)

Yeah, I'm hoping to get some scans either later today or early tomorrow. The pics don't turn out well enough to tell, though looking at your site I can tell its a reverse G, but it might be a die obverse 6 and not 5 because the more I look at it, the more I can see the die flaw on the final stop on the obverse.
