<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 2787568, member: 21705"]Good Attribution. It was a bit more difficulty due to PMD at the HWH making it appear to peak under the far right of the R unlike any known 1803. But the PC (Point of Curl) is at the extreme right of the outer curve of B limiting the choices to S-256 or S-257. (The S-261 has the right PC, but the date spacing is far different.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1 is slightly closer to the hair on the obverse and the reverse confirms it with the right stem pointing to the right leg of the (C)A along with the telltale signs of the flat top of the high 1 indicating a Large Fraction. But if you run across one with damage at the top of the 1, you will also note the S-256 has 1 between dentils while the S-257 is centered over a dentil.</p><p><br /></p><p>ps The tip of the leaf at (N)T is a good diagnostic as it moves from just covering the base of T to almost touching the right serif as well as inside to directly underneath to right of the serif.
