[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 2877554, member: 8959"]Thank you for your comments, and thank you, Conder, for confirming the die state. I was hesitating between state II and III, but see now it cannot be state III as it lacks the cracks atop 'STATES' which Breen describes. I was excited when I saw this coin and verified the variety. The original pictures were not very good, so it was a bit of a gamble but I am glad I went for it. In-hand the coin is actually better. From what I have read about S-238 the best known examples are, as you mention, VF30. These two, I believe, are considered to be at the top of the CC: ex Reynolds: [ATTACH=full]688960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]688961[/ATTACH] ex Sheldon and Naftzger, (also Holmes?): [ATTACH=full]688962[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]688963[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
