<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1641170, member: 21705&quot;]Congratulations on a rare find. This is indeed the Reverse M (Sheldon) and the Obverse is 17 making it the S-38 and R5+. While the corrosion is severe, the bottoms of the date are visible and the locations relative to the dentils make the obverse identification highly confident. Note how the 1, 7 and 4 all point between dentils. The 9 is higher than on S-37 which is similar.</p><p><br /></p><p>As beef1020 indicated for Reverse M, there is only one berry left of the loops. The berry stems are particularly lengthy. Also, there is an unusually large gap or space between the stem and ribbon on the left and the central wreath stem bisects the area between the right stem and ribbon knot on the right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Example from the Holmes Sale:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/5680/8599082_1.jpg?v=8CBFA08DE8E3270" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://media.liveauctiongroup.net/i/5680/8599082_2.jpg?v=8CBFA08DE8E3270" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
