<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1018142, member: 21705&quot;]I recently purchased this 1801 on Ebay and I&#039;m expecting it in any day. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D120632540107" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.com%2Fws%2FeBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D120632540107" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=120632540107</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/S-213Obverse1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1801NC-1ReverseB.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is called a S-214. There is no way it can be Obverse 2, but Obverse 1 is never seen perfect. But looking at the SHWH (Second Highest Wave of Hair - often overlooked in favor of JHF (Junction of Hair and Forehead), HWH (Highest Wave of Hair) and PC (Point of Curl). It is clearly under the upright of the E which cries out Obverse 1. Perhaps the perfect die unknown when Penny Whimsy was written. I don&#039;t know if that state has been found since, but I&#039;ll finally be getting my Breen Early date Large Cents any day as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, the reverse appears to share the die crack above ES of States (right of a rim ding over T) and perhaps the early clash marks of Reverse B. Also, a thicker fraction bar.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those who share my interest in attribution might wish to comment. It might also be my semi monthly wish-tribution rearing it&#039;s exasperating head as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>If this is a 1B, then it probably preceded the S-213 and the NC-1 since it lacks the die breaks and clash marks on those. Perhaps Obverse 1 was quickly retired and then returned to use after Obverses 2 and 3 broke.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, the leaf by the stem beside E of ONE appears to extend higher than any of the other reverses and almost touches the berry above it. This may be illusion from wear or significant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
