<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1298187, member: 15199"]If the bottom of the suspected "7" is protruding from the the lower left side of the last 8 and the top of the suspected "7" is from the top left of the upper loop of the 8, it is not 1888/7 S1. If this is not the area you are talking about, I would need a close up of the last 8. The true variety S-1 has the protruding "7" from the left bottom part of the 8 and the upper part of the 7 serif vertically from the upper left of the 8.The second such variety is the S-2, and it has a vertical bar in the upper loop of the last 8, and a "spike" part of an misplaced "1" protruding out of the front peal of the necklace, but these need very large magnification, and sometimes the wear on a coin makes it hard to determine. </p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome to the forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
