<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 901353, member: 66&quot;]You are correct that obv 2 and 3 are the same obverse.&nbsp; You are correct that obv 3 is NOT a reworking of obv 2.&nbsp; Obv 2 is an overpolished obv 3 where they were removing the severe clashmarks.&nbsp; So S-245 was struck before S-244.&nbsp; But there was no remarriage of the polished Obv with Rev C to strike the terminal Die state III of S-245.&nbsp; All of the S-245&#039;s were struck before the S-244&#039;s.&nbsp; The terminal state III of S-245 shown in Breen and in the Holmes catalog clearly shows that the die has not yet been polished.</p><p><br /></p><p>The polishing of the die that leaves the top of the hair looking unfinished also removed hair detail in other places.&nbsp; Those detail areas are NOT missing on your coin so I would say that the point of the curl has been damaged on your coin and it IS an &quot;obv 3&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
