Message:: [QUOTE="rld14, post: 538310, member: 16133"]Thad, you've got me digging through my piles of 28-S Small S SLQs as I type this! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  Ask Ruben how I like 28-S SLQs, When he went to the Parsippany show with me I must have bought 10 or 20 of em, last I checked I had more than 10 rolls of them.  I only have a couple MS Small Ss because, well, if I had bought 500 even MS60/61 28-Ss It would have cost as much as a nice used Bentley! ANyhow.. on the small S, there's some varieties. I have the one with the triangular upper Serif, that seems to be the most common on the SLQs, I also have an example of it where the upper loop of the S is almost filled in, that's NOT the S/D variety (Although this is the same punch used on that obverse die IIRC) but the other one that you'll see on the SLQs has a much skinnier top loop (There's no "triangular" serif) and this is the same one that comes in the "S over Large S" die variety which is MUCH scarcer than the "S/D" variety (Which is not rare). I'll try and get some pics for you in the upcoming weeks, I am horrible at taking pics of coins.  At the moment I'm working on an article on the 28-S, I need to get a few better examples of some of the RPMs and whatnot to really lock down the varieties of this date (And I have found one that I think is unique... reverse cud that's not listed in Knauss, but I digress..) But like I said, all 1928 San Francisco coins, to my knowledge, exist with the large and small S. I'll get some pics online and help clear this up, give me a few days... work is a killer![/QUOTE]
