<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 752555, member: 3726&quot;]I would say yes to that in general. For the 1880 proof there are two major varieties - the first normal proof has an 8 touching the ball and then the 8 is recut farther to the south and then correct. On this variety on the reverse the S in cents and second S in states are patched because of broken hub. This patch was done by hand and it is straight across to the serif.&nbsp; It is said most of the proofs of this year are this variety - I got this from PDF I have by Michael Wescott down loaded off the <a href="http://www.shieldnickels.net" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.shieldnickels.net" rel="nofollow">www.shieldnickels.net</a> website. So post some pictures of the coin and maybe Ed Fletcher will drop by and offer an opinion.&nbsp; I am not shy I still have an email address for him and might ask him to take a look.&nbsp; You could also probably email Howard Spindel off of that site shieldnickels.net site. So about some pictures with close-ups of the second S in states and the S in cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
