<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 2499722, member: 8959&quot;]Marshall, the pictures provided in Breens&#039; book support what you assert: The intersection between the right stem and ribbon is clearly different between S-194 and S-195. The intersection is wider on S-194, while on S-195 stem and ribbon meet almost at the junction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures are, however, not clear enough to clearly distinguish the spike on left ribbon which you describe (too faint), but it is very possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Breen provides an additional diagnostic to distinguish the two reverses. On reverse G (S-194) the berry right of (N)T is normal in size, and same as the other berries. On reverse H (S-195) the berry right on (N)T is tiny, clearly smaller than the rest of the berries. It is also weakly struck and may appear stemless on worn examples. Maybe you can use this diagnostic on your examples as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
