<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1520580, member: 21705&quot;]This is posted on Heritage as a future item which is anticipated after further research. It is a particularly unusual high grade example. The only problem... something seems off to me. Now this is not unusual and many times my initial impression proves faulty. I&#039;m drawn to the JHF seems too far right and a lack of a sharp point of hair between the two longer strands on the first lock left of the date. It&#039;s definitely not a Smith Counterfeit.</p><p><br /></p><p>subject</p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1175&amp;lotIdNo=11020#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1175&amp;lotIdNo=11020#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1175&amp;lotIdNo=11020#Photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>comparison</p><p><a href="http://www.icollector.com/1793-S-6-R3-Wreath-Cent-VF35_i8599032" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.icollector.com/1793-S-6-R3-Wreath-Cent-VF35_i8599032" rel="nofollow">http://www.icollector.com/1793-S-6-R3-Wreath-Cent-VF35_i8599032</a></p><p><a href="http://www.icollector.com/1793-S-6-R3-Wreath-Cent-VF35_i8599032" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.icollector.com/1793-S-6-R3-Wreath-Cent-VF35_i8599032" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>It seems to have the bulges and cracks of a State V, even with the things I&#039;m questioning. </p><p><br /></p><p>Could a filled die account for the lack of a sharp short point of hair between the two longer points?</p><p><br /></p><p>None of the known MS (in Breen) examples are in states V or VI.</p><p><br /></p><p>Looking at some of the 88 S-6 sales, it appears that most of the State V examples show the same weakness of the shorter lower point of hair on th first lock to the left of the date.
