    Just purchased this one unattributed and “dateless” a few days ago and it should arrive today. @Marshall hope this isn’t too rough on your eyesight but wanna give it a go? It’s fine if you don’t but I will say this may be my new rarest variety.

    Being stemless will help.

    The obverse need to be imaged a bit better, but it looks like there should be enough after that to distinguish between 1797 S-131, S-132 an S-133.

    No die break precludes S-131, and the top serif of the B is present and unbroken, precluding S-132. S-133, R-5 is my attribution.

    I concur. Strong upper serif of B. Type One Hair. Nice photo by the way.
