    I thought everybody new that Beaumont/Port Arthur/Orange were the points of the Golden Triangle in Texas. Perhaps that is just the home cookin'. Of course, few people have ever heard of the Spaghetti Bowl, even though most have driven over it hundreds of times. I'm feeling like a guy out of his time nowadays.

    I've lived in the Houston area for about 17 years, and never heard Beaumont referred to as the Golden Triangle. LOL.

    And Thanks, mpcusa

    I came up with the obv of N-5 and 6. (Same Obv) I keyed on the sixth star pointing at the tip of the coronet. That would be N-2, N-5,6, or N-7,8,9,11. The 0 isn't high so that eliminated 7,8,9, & 11. N-2 only has the inner circle on the left hand side of the coin. That leave 5,6. I agree that star 13 seems wrong, but like Marshall said that could be because of the inner circle causing confusion.

    A picture of the reverse would be helpful.

    Here is the reverse...definitely the large letters to my eye:

    It's definitely Reverse B though the N of ONE doesn't look as if it's leaning to the right as much as in the comparables. It could be the weak left base causing this illusion.

    Yep N-5. We agree.
