<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 8111920, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m struggling with that again myself. I sold off my first collection about ten years ago for the same reason. But then I hooked up a digital microscope to my computer along with using my big screen for a monitor and I built a new collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The label of 14 is for the obverse number and was used on S-16. While this comp is very sharp, the K look pf the R I believe is from bifurcation or the incomplete filling of the die during the striking of a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is fairly common in the early days of the mint and often appears as appearing to be script rather than type with curved features where it should be straight. The absence of the top of the R is a bit of an extreme example of this. I actually find these less well struck coins more attractive than the fully struck ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
