Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3188929, member: 21705"]Obverse 4 with the date evenly and widely spaced with 1 and 3 close, but not touching the hair and bust respectively. On the 1803s the 03 are usually close, so that eliminates most obverses. There is also a mumps defect under the chin which is why it is known as the MUMPS Obverse. Yours is in a shadow so it's not obvious. But easy confirmation because the right foot of T and Y are defective. This obverse is paired with reveres D, E, F and G. Reverse D and G have a leaf point under the center of M while the subject is under the right upright, so it's not D or G. Reverse E looks like a good candidate. Reverse F is close, but the leaf tip at T is close to T, Leaf tip at D is under the center rather than the curve and other similar subtle differences. So a 4G or S-247 R3. Now I see what looks like a crack from the berry under M to the middle bottom of A(M). I'll check for die state using this marker. OK? While checking for this marker, I noticed the comps all indicate the AME are all joined at the bases. While the subject appears to almost touch, it does not appear to touch and certainly not joined. Also, there is no mention of the marker I was looking for. I have to run some errands. I'll get back to it later.[/QUOTE]
