[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4694642, member: 21705"]I'm getting difficult to satisfy these days. The obverse R(T) appears too far left and is right of most on the S-172. Also, this coin has a weak, but definite stem on the outer berry under E(R) on the reverse. But once again I'm having trouble identifying an alternative which seems to fit. I was looking really hard at S-175, but the upper inside berry on the left has a stem too closely parallel to the leaf. It has a thick, but short C(E). I checked S-179 but that doesn't work either. The thing most interesting is what appears to be a high T(Y) relative to the bottom of R and where the bottom of Y should be. I don't see another type 2 with this positioning, so I'm trying to allow for PMD, wear or strike related issues. It might be the BB (reverse for S-179), but I can't Identify a 1798 Type 2 obverse that looks right at RTY or is close with a shorter shoulder loop (left to left center of 8.[/QUOTE]
