Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 745557, member: 21705"]This is just a request from anyone, especially EACers to let me know if any new obverses have been discovered from 1802 Large cents since the 14 known in Penny Whimsy. I only ask because I have a mutilated piece made of an 1802 obverse and an 1803 obverse which were ground down and glued together to make a two headed coin. Both are in AG to G in wear and show the date and Liberty though heavily worn. I ask because while it seems to most closely match the S-231 obverse 6, it's still not an exact match. The HWH is right under the right center upright of the R and the SHWH is just right of center of the E. The E and the R are widely separated, but unlike obverse 6, the uprights of the L, I and B are all at significant angles from parallel to each other while obverse 6 shows them to be just off parallel between the L and the I and only a little further between I and B. Before I go and get all excited, I'd just like to find out if there have been newly discovered  obverses which this might match. I'd hate to try to make a case for a discovery piece which has been as badly mutilated as this has. I'm still trying to figure out how to make my camera work well enough to get a decent photograph and I will try to post one when I succeed.[/QUOTE]
