It was easy for me to recognize because this coin variety is unforgettable to me (a sad story, unfotunately). It was one of the very first 94's...
I thought I should be able to attribute this particular coin by sight alone, and I was right: it is S-65, the so-called 'Shielded Hair' with a...

I absolutely agree, specially that superlative 1802 Draped Bust Dollar.....
That is quite a nice example of the S-212. Congratulations. S-212 is a R-3 die pairing, and the inner spike at C of 'Cent' is one of the key...
