<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1260747, member: 66"]A very interesting piece. The reverse doesn't match anything. Follow along with me a moment here.

The only reverses that match that are Rev E (105 & 106), possibly I (111), and K (113).</p><p>Rev I can be eliminated because the I in PLURIBUS is way too far right compared to the T above it. Now look at the right upright of the N in UNUM. It is centered under the upright of the F. That does not match Rev E or K. That alignment of the N and F is only found on Rev B & C. And neither of those two have right edge of the scroll under the A at all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Obv seems to match 12. So the closest match seems to be O-113 but the letters in the motto just don't seem to quite line up properly with the letters above (note what I said about the N and F) and also on Rev K the arrowheads are supposed to be close and joined together. On this coin they are clearly separated and not really close.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
