Above is a link to a graph with the number of sunspots. 1862 seemed to be about normal. The year 1867 was low sunspots. I think one needs to look at the overall trends though over 5 to 10 years - not just a single year’s number.
I’m not sure if the results are “equalized” across the years to take into account the better optics used in modern times. Although to see sunspots, whatever the astronomers had in 1860 was probably still good enough to see all of the sunspots.
