Message:: [QUOTE="dave4dawg, post: 1764301, member: 39878"]No, it's an S-246 for sure. Here are some very clear pick-up points. The early or perfect state of the s-246 does not exhibit the "Mumps" diagnostic. The condition of the coin makes it a bit difficult to determine the die state, but the earliest state does not show the "Mumps" and early states exhibit very little of the defect.  On the obverse of the s-246 the 1 is to the left of the hair "curl" near the shoulder and close - exhibited by this example. The s-250 is to the right and lower. On the reverse of the s-246 -the leaf-tip below S in STATES is to the left of the right side of S - exhibited in this example. The same leaf tip on the s-250 is far right of the right side of S almost to the T. The fraction bar is longer on the S-246 not close to the last ) and almost touching the ribbon and the numerator is high, all exhibited in this coin. On the s-250 the fraction bar is shorter and lower as is the fraction. The right stem on the S-246 points to the left upright in A. Again, exhibited in this example. The right stem on the S-250 points betweem the uprights of the final A in AMERICA.[/QUOTE]
