<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 894801, member: 21705&quot;]Don&#039;t confuse the denticles with reeding. The S-76 has 2 main variations and a couple of unique or near unique variations. First, is a scarce thick planchet with lettering known as S-76a and is an R5 (about 50 known and 1 of which I am a proud owner). Then the much more common 76b with a thin planchet and no edge lettering and is an R1 common. Then the others are a thick edge with no lettering and a thin edge with lettering. </p><p><br /></p><p>The reeded edge S-79 was probably hand reeded as a trial piece which was quickly discarded due to it&#039;s higher production cost with little benefit for a copper coin. It was a 1795 strike though and seven are known. All of these are made from a unique obverse and a unique reverse die which were not used on any other die pairings.</p><p><br /></p><p>The starred reverse made it&#039;s only appearance in 1794 on the S-48 Reverse W and is an R5 (about 50 known).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
