<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2998815, member: 21705&quot;]After reading Breen, he believed the S-216 used the same obverse AFTER being used on the S-221 and After being drastically reground causing loss of substantial Hair detail. He speculated that an earlier die state of S-216 might be out there before the obverse was reground.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I will show a comp from an S-216 along with my coin and then a comp for the Reverse of S-221 and my coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>I believe I have the opposite die state from what Breen speculated about and that is a LATER die state of S-221 after the obverse has been reground. Please note that after regrinding, the obverse shows little, if any, detail above LIBERTY and may have been misaligned (not axially) shifting Liberty closer to the top of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741470[/ATTACH]</p><p>COMPARISON COIN [ATTACH=full]741471[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]741472[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]741473[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The Reverse attribution is solid, but the obverse appears to have all the reground bald spots of the S-216 after regrinding.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a working hypothesis, any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
