1864 L IH penny

[relic nut]

Hi all, I'm not a coin guy so you will have to over look my ignorance. I found this very nice IH penny and was told by thrifty76now to look for an L in the ribbon. I googled what to look for and think it is there but cant be 100% sure. Even with the loop it is hard to see. When I read about this penny, it said that the bust was more pointed on the L penny but I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I will welcome your opinion. Thanks

Thanks LD. That is the site I visited yesterday, and I'm almost positive the L is there. Was wondering about the bust just to be sure.
