<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8418477, member: 105571&quot;]I was seated at Larry Briggs&#039; table today at FUN and the fellow beside me was poring through a box of raw IHCs, looking for 1870-72 Shallow and Bold N cents for his collection.&nbsp; He even had a small, 3-ring binder that he had filled with his own sheets with the PUPS for his various searches.&nbsp; He showed me the page for the Bold N/Shallow N.&nbsp; I told him my pnemonic for remembering which is which based on the shape of the middle stroke of the Es in ONE CENT:&nbsp; Bugle = Bold.&nbsp; This is based on the fact that the middle stroke of the E on the bold Ns looks decidedly like the horn of a bugle while the Shallow N&#039;s E is much less bugle-shaped.&nbsp; This is easier to detect than the Ns, in my experience.&nbsp; Annotated pictures of both types below.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]1493072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1493073[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
