    Yet another FH for my collection :D This one has an unusual field mark. The "E" in FEL appears to be an F as well.

    A note in RIC comments on this issue having 'notably rough style'. I see that on mine but not on Randy's. I also am failing to find Randy's coin in RIC but mine is there. Where is it Randy? Have you cataloged it yet? RIC 115 does not have the <; RIC 127 does but is FH3. Great coin!

    Been looking but that is all I could find as well. I was waiting to say its an unlisted variant until I was sure.

    It is in RIC, Failmezger and Vagi so it is hardly unlisted. I still have failed to find one not in a museum but I do not have the library to make that significant.

    This reply was intended for a different thread. My error, sorry.

    Here I should point out that my copy of RIC clearly shows 115 as an ordinary E not an E<. Dane's and Randy's coins suggest it is a typo (unless someone has one with a plain E).

    I think I'm going to label it as "115?"
