<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25404620, member: 104064"]Your overlays are useful. I think the obverse overlay might be better if you showed the denticles.

The two dies are very close. </p><p><br /></p><p>The BCCS reference posted earlier:</p><p><a href="http://barbercoins.org/BQ1896S.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://barbercoins.org/BQ1896S.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://barbercoins.org/BQ1896S.shtml</a></p><p>Original David Lawrence reference:</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/compguidebarb1994feig/page/n51/mode/1up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/compguidebarb1994feig/page/n51/mode/1up" rel="nofollow">https://archive.org/details/compguidebarb1994feig/page/n51/mode/1up</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here the question is whether there is a 1896-P with a similar date position and whether that's really an S on the reverse.
