1859 1c

Too bad about the scratch, it's the reverse I'm gambling on.

Looks like it might be a wide 9/8 variety, but it's hard to judge based on that pic of course. The top of the 9 looks round and thick enough for it though IMO. And at that price, even with the scratch, you won't be burried for too much if it's just a regular 1859. I'd say it's a decent gamble

Sometimes gambles pay off. I hope its the variety you are looking for.
