<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 3534810, member: 78244"]Yup. Altered S-187. You can see where they wore away the massive obverse die break. The die breaks and strike weakness on the reverse also match up.</p><p><br /></p><p>This alteration was expertly done, but not quite good enough. Since the die break between the 0 and A on the reverse was not a characteristic of S-189 (1799), I looked for a match among the 1798s.
