There are several 1834 inverted 3 variety,  on the bay right now.....as I just did a little window shopping.And yes there are 1834 inverted 3 that do not  have the filled 8 & S.As remember there are for this series  123 die pairs,   there are 39 obv. and 36 rev. dies which were paired ,I recall 1 show where a dealer here asked me, then gave me the coin to take home to attribute....an FE cent.The coin was sweet in great condition....The show was about to open and I didn't have any of my resources at hand.....and wasnt up on the series as others.I knew i would see him the following week....well yes it was a very rare variety , that he had under priced not knowing ....so the $500 coin in his inventory turned out to be worth 3.5 times the asking price.He said to me you always give me tips....I had $ 500 on the coin if you want it for that price it is yours.I declined as it didn't  fit my collection. ....as well not having 500 on me, as I had already picked another dealer where I spent my bank roll.[/QUOTE]
