<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 26277039, member: 43872"]There seems to be more than one variety at play here. I am no expert on any large cents (or any other coins), but there seems to be some difference in the editions of Red Book. My 2022 edition has different pictures from my 1991 edition. As for the position of the S, look again at the PCGS site, <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1834-1c-lg-8-stars-med-let-rb/1703" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1834-1c-lg-8-stars-med-let-rb/1703" rel="nofollow">1834 1C Lg 8 Lg Stars Med Let, RB (Regular Strike) Coronet Head Cent - PCGS CoinFacts</a>. Their large main coin picture has the S in STATES well beyond the point of the leaves in the next to last cluster. But the smaller picture illustrating "Medium Letters" has the S well back from that point. The S on your coin is consistent with the position of the S on both the main picture and the smaller picture of the Large Letters variety here: <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1834-1c-large-letter-reverse-bn/1705" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1834-1c-large-letter-reverse-bn/1705" rel="nofollow">1834 1C Large Letter Reverse, BN (Regular Strike) Coronet Head Cent - PCGS CoinFacts</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
