Is this a 1864 L on ribbon?

Yes, it looks like it is.

When I stopped staring so hard, I saw it.

Clear enough to verify in hand, certainly.

You can ID these (even when the "L" is worn away by the shape of the end of the bust.

I was going to comment on being able to tell by the shape of the end of the bust. But every which way I tried to describe it in any other way it seemed to have an unwanted innuendo so I'm not going to go on about how easy it is to tell by their shape and orientation, etc. I give up, it can't be done.

How is this: What about pointed or slightly rounded. Both can be very attractive on a nice piece.
