<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1497482, member: 21705"]FYI, There are 14 different obverses in 1802 rather than just 2. The two stemless 1802s are both common (S-231 and S-241). I actually had 7 S-231s before I started disposing of my collection. In heavily worn cents, the gaps at the bottoms are usually distorted so concentrate on the gaps between the tops of the numbers and the hair, curl and bust. Even there, I don't think there is sufficient detail to distinguish between varieties. But I do think the top of the 2 can be made out and distinguished from a 0 or 8.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least 7 of the obverses are good candidates and most of the rest are conceivable in worn condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only the NCs would actually add value to the counterstamp anyway, so I wouldn't be too concerned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
