<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3358060, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m doing well, but I&#039;ve run out of money to acquire new coins to post. This is an intriguing example that would seem to be easily attributed, yet I can&#039;t settle on an attribution. Because of the wear and damage, I may be excluding some varieties I should not exclude.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears from the L and E that this uses type two lettering which excludes all the 1797s except one obverse. But the &quot;7&quot; is too distant for that obverse. I only looked at the 97s because of what appeared to potentially be a point of a seven and the couched E which is most commonly (though not exclusively) found on 97s.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have therefore excluded 97s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the more probable 98s are a bit problematic. It still has a couched E though the top of the hair is away from and left of the upright of the E. The &quot;8&quot; is away from the bust, and the 1 and 7 are apart, rather than close. The 1 is away from and between dentils. The seven is damaged but appears to be just right of the dentil below.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m off to Church so I&#039;ll be back later with observations on the Reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
