<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3184057, member: 21705&quot;]This was a tough one, but I believe it is the S-185. R2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse 33 was used on S-184 and S-185. on Noyes Die State/Stage D, a crack developes from the forehead through the base of Y. My usual obverse comp does not show this crack. (BTW, My comps are mostly from the Holmes Collection with some supplements from elsewhere)</p><p><br /></p><p>But I did see it in Noyes. It appears rather distinct on yours, so probably Die Stage/State E. Here is a comp, also from Holmes, of his late state S-185.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]821000[/ATTACH] </p><p>Reverse FF is only used on the S-185. </p><p><br /></p><p>Notable features are the numerator slightly left of center while the fraction bar is shifted right of center. The point of the leaf is just left of the right upright of M. The berry right of E is even with the top serif. And on this example, shows the clash under the triplet below O.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the Holmes Comp.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]821002[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
