<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 3211168, member: 66"]1838's are not easy to attribute but your coin definitely isn't a N-15. 1838's can be grouped into two broad categories those with perfect E's in LIBERTY, and those with the upper left serif broken. Yours has a broken serif, N-15 has a perfect E. Also N-15 was made using the same reverse as N-13 and 16 and it has the right upright of the N in cent broken, yours isn't. Finally N-15 used that reverse in a very late die stage were the denticals had worn away, your coin still has denticals on the reverse. As for the gap in the center of the bun that can widen if the die is polished during use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
