<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1661099, member: 66"]Better pictures would help but from what I see it sure looks like it. I assume it has a plain edge correct? Can you see the date? Is it definitely a 1795?</p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming it is a plain edge, it has to be either 1795 or 1796. The word CENT is low in the wreath For 1795 that is only true for S-77, 78, and NC-3. Then look at the two leaves to the left of the C in CENT, they reach up to the top edge of the C. That is not true for S-77 or 78 but it is true for NC-3. It is also true for several varieties in 1796. So the next thing we look at is the outer three leaf cluster below the D in UNITED. On all the 1796 rev that match the leaves left of the C the point of the outermost leaf in the cluster below the D is either below the left foot of the D or even further left. On 1795 NC-3 it is below the center of the D. The low CENT, the tall leaves left of C and the Point of the leaf below the center of the D all seem to indicate NC-3.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
