    This is S-57. LIBERTY is down close to the forehead. that makes it after S-44 On the reverse ES are close together as are the ends of the wreath. The gap between the ends of the wreath is directly below the gap between ES. Those features eliminate most of the varieties but the clinching diagnostic are the two berries below M. There is one inner and one outer berry and they are almost directly across from each other. That is only true on S-57 and NC-6 and the position of the 1 in the date compared to the hair does not match that of NC-6.

    Yep! S-57.

    I narrow the search like Conder on the obverse side with the proximity of LIBERTY to the hair. On the Reverse side I use the Large M vs Small M. Except for the misplaced S-46 and S-48, the Large M begins with the S-57.
