interesting coin, while the A isn't a V (you can see where the bar should be) same with the F, but i know some unbarred letters via die errors are listed seperatly

Yes, the dies suffered weaknesses in those early bronze years - 1860 and 1861 particularly are notable for letters not fully struck up.

What's more interesting is that lighthouse - it looks for all the world like a Saturn V about to blast off from Cape Kennedy :D
