Starting at the bottom of the wreath and working up I see wheat, ears of corn, tobacco leaves with a cotton boll between the second and third tobacco leaves, and topped off with an unknown grain at the top. The unknown grain at the top is conical in shape. Notice how the individual grains are not &#039;floating in space&#039; on this normal genuine example (shown on Wikipedia). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH]104813.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>I suppose if the reverse die were lapped enough the individual grains could &#039;float in space&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
