<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1717382, member: 21705"]I believe you have half a starred reverse. ie S-24 rather than S-48. The gap between the top of the hair and the bottom of the R is too much for the S-48. The reverse ribbons appear to have the 'enclosing' look of the mid S-20s and looping above the point where the wreath bottoms join while the S-48. My quick impression is S-24, though I can't rule out the others without taking more time.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the easiest way to rule out the S-48 Reverse is the small M (width about = height) on your coin. The S-48 was the second appearance of the Large M (width > height) on the reverse (the first was on S-46). Corroded coins are very tricky and often convince you into seeing what isn't on the original die. Particularly the smallest details.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
