    Hey there,
    I'm looking for input regarding the Cohen variety of this half cent. I don't have either of the diagnostic books so I've been trying to go off of online photos...to little avail.
    These are seller's photos (which appear to be quite juiced, by the way). Any input on variety or grade would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    C-3.

    On C-1 the leaf point does not extend past the right side of the second S in STATES so it isn't C-1, On C-2 and C-3 it extends just a little past the right side, so it is C-2 or C-3.

    On C-3 the point of the leaf below the F in OF is below the right foot of the F. On C-2 it extends past the end of the right foot.

    Yours is C-3.

    I'd love to see what it looks like in person...the seller does offer returns, so that's nice.
