[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 12232619, member: 105571"]As it turns out, I think I erred in the attribution. LM-2 and L-1 share Obverse 1 and this coin's obverse is definitely Obverse 1 which was only used with Reverses S and T. The differences between the Reverse T (for the rare LM-2, R-6) and Reverse S (for the relatively common LM-1, R-3) are pretty small for even a high-grade coin and are really tough to discern on a worn specimen like this one. But the tells that make this Reverse S and therefore the LM-1 are: The tip of the feather is just right of the tip of the flag of the 5. On Reverse T, the feather tip is slightly right of the tip of the flag. The tip of the stem is just right of the junction of the serif of C2. On Reverse T, the tip of the stem is in line with the serif. So, I just got ahead of myself in my excitement.[/QUOTE]
