[QUOTE="900fine, post: 1313749, member: 6036"]Thanks, Marshall ! Nice work. Two important items for those eager to attribute these half cents... 1) Start on the reverse. It's easier. 2) The major points are four leaf tips and their position relative to the letters "D", second "S" in "STATES", "F", and "C" in "AMERICA". Take a look at the photos Marshall provided and it is quickly apparent these are three different reverse dies. The "four leaf" technique works even on heavily worn or corroded coins; it's gotta be a seriously beat-down piece to not get letters vs. leaves.[/QUOTE]
