    I agree with you. S-135. Here's what Breen says:

    Obverse 5. Medium evenly spaced date with the corner of 7 touching the drapery. B is broken and R almost touches the hair.
    Reverse C. Six berries on each branch. Wide evenly spaced denominator.

    Die States:
    I. Perfect. Plain Edge.
    II. Spine or crack from adjacent leaf up to the left base of (R)I. Plain Edge.
    III. Chips above C(A). Plain edge.
    IV. Bulges develop near D ST, at first faint. Fainte single clash mark from the drapery below ES to O. Plain Edge.
    V. Double clash marks on both sides. Plain or beaded edge.

    Rarity: High R-3
