[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1421821, member: 21705"]The usual differences on the obverses are positioning of stars relative to the denticles/dentils or to the date or portrait. The reverse is usually identified by the positioning of the leaves with the individual letters of the legend. In your coin's situation, the reverse had leaves coming to a point well to the right of the right side of the final S in STATES. This eliminated all but N-4 and N-12. The obverse differences are numerous, but I used star points relative to denticles to establish the N-12 obverse.[/QUOTE]
