<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robp, post: 6325254, member: 96746&quot;]I&#039;m inclined to say OSBER[N], class 1b. </p><p><br /></p><p>I agree the portrait looks Richard, but I can&#039;t see any sign of the stop after R to the right of the hand which would be present on class 3. The reverse is double struck from the initial cross to 2 o&#039;clock. What looks like a D at the right cross end could be for Rodbert who also strikes in 1b, but there isn&#039;t enough space to give his full name plus ON WINCE, hence my reasoning for OSBER, which does leave sufficient space for the mint as seen - so I think the third letter is an unclear B due to the adjacent double striking. </p><p><br /></p><p>FWIW, the Mass collection had 5 Osber 1bs ending in WINCE, but no others apart from Adam, however, I&#039;m also struggling to make ADAM from the image. Plus the &#039;S&#039; is a reasonable approximation. On the negative side, I&#039;m struggling to find a die match in Mass which would be surprising. His class 3s are mostly flat in the bit seen on your coin, and none of them have a terminal E.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
