[QUOTE="ziggy29, post: 21586, member: 1113"]No problem. I think attribution is fun. There's a lot more to look a than just the portrait -- look at the position of the stars relative to the portrait and the denticles. Look at the position and spacing of the date relative to itself and, again, relative to the denticles and the portrait. Actually, those tell more than the portrait itself, I think. This obverse matches both N-6 and N-7 (and both used the same obverse die). But the reverse is clearly not N-7, looking at the relative position of the legend "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" relative to berries on the wreath.[/QUOTE]
