[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 2483730, member: 21705"]I love solving the mystery of coins like these. But the reverse cannot be that of the S-266c since the left stem is distant from the wreath on this (close to splitting the difference between the wrath and ribbon) coin and the Reverse A of 1804 is much closer to the wreath than the ribbon. But while I agree that the die break matches the location of the S-117, the reverse does not match Reverse Y either, The left stem is too short, the berry under (E)D is beside the leaf rather than above it, the leaf under (N)T does not go above the base on the subject coin while it goes about a third above the base on Reverse Y of 1796. Besides that, the berries are too large overall and the die break at (E)D is not there. The mystery isn't solved yet, but both the possibilities were of R5+ rarity, though the 1804 is much more popular.[/QUOTE]
