Could you guys tell if this one is the real deal, or if it is ready for the junkbox?

Thanks in advance,

Jos

Not sure what you mean by 'real deal'??? I cannot tell if it is a fake..

Doesn't look fake to me, as to the variety, I can't say. I haven't unpacked the box with my Haxby catalog yet. When I do, I'll come back to this thread for you.

I meant by 'the real deal' the variety. In my Krause there is a big difference in value. That's what I was referring to.

Thanks!

Yes, this is the common "narrow 9" variety.

Beat me to it. (Still haven't found my catalog, but I did find my Krause when unpacking last night! )

The wide and narrow 9 varieties of the 1859 cent is one of the easier ones to recognize once you get used to it - the "wide 9"s are "fat" as they are really 9/8.
