[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1549447, member: 21705"]Lettering Type 2 Large 8 Hair Type ? Group 2, 3 or 5. 8 distant from 9. Eliminate the overdates of Group 2. 1 distant from lowest curl. Eliminates Group 3. Obverse 21 Yep Both distant 1 and distant 8. Reverse R has a spiked C(E). Nope and leaf under R(I) covers wreath branch, also nope. Reverse S always seen with both the Spiked C and die crack from E through fraction. Nope Reverse T has blunted C and die chips from E(D) through leaf under O(F). While light, they are there. It appears to be an early die state of S-167. Interestingly enough, a similar S-167 with even less visible evidence of the die chips was the only coin I ever sent to Bob Grellman for identification. It reminds me that lack of evidence is not evidence of lack, particularly on these old coppers.[/QUOTE]
