<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 951244, member: 21705"]There seems to be something which doesn't match and things which do match each of the reverses.

I want to identify each side independently. Condor pointed out the top right berry as definitively ruling out the NC-6, though the fraction bar and ED look right. The upper right berry looks like the Reverse A of 1800, but the spacing seems wrong. The Reverse C doesn't look right at the upper right berry or the fraction bar and none seem to have the close CA distant from the right ribbon. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, the coin is just beyond the point where a closer look helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now about Rick and his wife, I found each of them delightful and I'm well pleased with his efforts on my behalf.
