<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4067739, member: 21705"]This is an ugly purchase, even with the detail, But the obverse looks like 1798 NC-2 while the Reverse doesn't match. In fact it doesn't match any 1798. But the corrosion could be misleading. Any thoughts are appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1063466[/ATTACH] </p><p>My biggest question is authenticity since they like to artificially age them, sometimes significantly. Being a new reverse by process of elimination and thus a new variety as well as die would be a long shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I will point out the width of LIBERTY and the positions of BER to their peaks and the rotation of the 7 as reasons for my attribution of Obverse 15. The distance of the 100 below the fraction bar and the short fraction bar along with the closeness/overlap of the bottom pair of leaves on the right are why I eliminated all 1798 reverses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
