Brian, There was an a Master Hub used for several of the later reverse dies in 1798. However, as is evident, many of the devices varied, like...
Beef - two different reverses. Both unique. The die cracks are always evident on the S-175, except the CUD (only in the late state). There are...
The S-175 reverse usually exhibits a CUD at U in UNITED, but always has a crack running through the leaves and stem to the left of ONE in CENT and...
The hanging berry is diagnostic. too far gone on the obverse and I don't see the CUD or cracks. But the s-187 is also known in an earlier die...

My First 1798. An S-164 M-LDS, not the rarest but special in that regard. also a decent S-51 - a variety not often seen too nice or in better...
Nice pick-up, Eduard. I really like the S-202 - a distinct variety. I'm with "beef "on this one. The detail is every bit a F12+ IMO - hair,...
Thanks, Brian. Occasionally I have a few days away from the serious early copper world when I can have fun and enjoy reading the forums and maybe...
