<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1211168, member: 21705&quot;]The first characteristic which narrows down the Reverse is the E directly over the T of the reverse. This is true only on Reverses C and G. On C, the leaf is under the (O)F while on G it is almost to the outside of O(F). The leaf tip is between ME on C and the leaf tip is under the left side of the right upright of the M on G.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that we&#039;ve concluded the subject coin is Reverse G, we know there are three known Obverse pairings with Reverse G. S-125 (Obverse 5), S-126 (Obverse 6) and S-127 (Obverse 128).</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse 5 has a lower date with both the 1 and 7 distant from the hair and bust. The subject coin is close but not touching both so we can eliminate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now obverse 6 and 7 are very similar. This does not show the break often seen on Obverse 6 so the tendency is to say Obverse 7. But if you look at the dentils above I, you can plainly see the I is close to the dentilation and two dentils are evenly spaced above that I. On Obverse 7, a single dentil is a bit more distant and above the left side of the upright of I. The subject coin is therefore an early die state of S-126 (R3) rather than S-127 (R4).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
