1856 Upright 5
N-9

Year: 1856
Type: Liberty Head (Braided Hair) Large Cent
Variety: N-9, Upright 5
Grade: RAW
Mintage: 333,546

This is my example of the "Upright 5" variety of the 1856 large cent,
so named for the 5 digit in the date being of a more upright variety
than the "Slanting 5" variety.
Nice surfaces and a fairly strong strike make this coin a keeper.

Thank you Michael Atkins.
