Here is another image of then1864 L Cent.
Just found a better image to use, thanks to heritage. The coin also has a reverse die clash on it. But too rich for my blood. LOL

don't forget that you can also check by weighing the '64's. The cn are a bit heavier, 4.67 gm, as opposed to 3.11, in the beronze.

Which is reflected in the edge too--the CN are noticeably thicker...because the alloy is harder and the dies needed extra resistance to strike up the details. And of course, Wharton's nickel mining interest profited from that extra weight too.
