[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4627026, member: 21705"]I fooled myself on this one. It was a buy it now and I thought I needed to act quickly. After I purchased this, I discovered the Obverse is 2. I eliminated it for two reasons. One, the T looked too far right. Unfortunately it is an illusion caused by a dark ding at the right corner of the hair crown. Second, I don't usually see the top of the 5 on obverse 2 and think of it as fully embedded and Obverse 3 as partially embedded. It appeared to me like the LIBERTY of Obverse 7 and the Date of Obverse 3 and they both had other diagnostics which eliminated them. This is partly due to my quest to discover the first NC-2 NOT struck on a TAL token. So I thought it was a new obverse die consistent with other early 95s. Here it is. Would it have fooled you at first glance? [ATTACH=full]1145107[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
