<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 952537, member: 21705&quot;]The remote possibility of finding a mule or new die is always at the front of my mind. In this case, we came to the same conclusion by slightly different methods, but the information is still invaluable. Having researched the minutia of the differences in the varieties pretty much authenticates the 1799 from alteration of dates. The only other possibility becomes a worn electrotype of an S-189. Electrotypes were fairly common by the early part of the 20th century and are mentioned repeatedly in Penny Whimsy.</p><p><br /></p><p>The provenance gives me some security until I learn how to spot an electrotype which has been worn. I seriously doubt this, but I like to cover all the bases.</p><p><br /></p><p>ps If anybody has a rarity rating for S-189 Die State V I&#039;d love to know what it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
