Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1798912, member: 21705"]First, let's identify the obverse. There are 7 Obverses for 1816. The stars and dentils on the left side are visible and the location of the (18) 1 (6) is visible. We will use these to rule out as many as possible. The star closest to the date on the left (star 1) is just right of the gap points directly to the middle of a dentil. Obv 1 Check.Obv 2 Just right of the gap - no.Obv 3 Just right of the gap - no.Obv 4 Check.Obv 5 Just left of the gap - no.Obv 6 Check.Obv 7 Almost at gap - no. So we've narrowed it down to Obv 1, 4 or 6. Next star clockwise from star 1 is star 2. It points just right of the center of a dentil. Obv 1 CheckObv 4 CheckObv 6 Check No help here. Next star clockwise is star 3. It points just barely right of gap between dentils. Obv 1 CheckObv 4 Point is well left of  gap - no.Obv 6 Point is further right of gap - no. But we'll double check to be sure. The second 1 is just left of center of dentil. Obv 1 Check.Obv 4 1 is over a gap - no confirmed.Obv 6 1 is just left of gap - no confirmed. We have the attribution for the Obverse - Obverse 1. This Obverse is paired with reverses A, B and C. (UN) I is dotted with a dentil over it.Rev A Check.Rev B Gap over I - No.Rev C Gap over I - No. So it looks like N-1 to me.[/QUOTE]
