<p>[QUOTE=&quot;HandsomeToad, post: 412057, member: 12965&quot;]You didn&#039;t look close enough on the first one. Remember corrosion has affected the coin and you didn&#039;t see all of the leaf because corrosion has worn some of it away but if you look really close, you&#039;ll see the leaf tip is barely still visible.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ps: Remember, those two leaves are the same length/size and in the pic, the top one is short, so where did the rest of the leaf go? :kewl: Another thing, if you feel up to it, how many Rev97 DBC&#039;s have a leaf tip that extends past the D in UNITED? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Answer: 2</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Many are flush with the top pf the D but only 2 go far enough to consider them extending past the D. One, of course, is the 1802 S-228, which is an error fraction variety and the other one also happens to be an error fraction variety. :secret:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That narrows it down to workable for you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: The other one used the same reverse die as a S-228, so they are identical on the reverse but the obverses are different. :kewl: Look closely at the distance LIBERTY is from the hair line and then look at the coin in question. On the coin in questoin, you can make out the left base of the R, just to the right of the dip in the hair, and it is extremely close to the hair line. That further proves the coin in question is a 1802 S-228. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pps: This is just another example of why I love the early copper!&nbsp; :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit-Ribbit-Ribbit[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
