<p>[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1051870, member: 21705"]I thought I might post the coins that I acquired that prevent me from bidding on this one.

It is misattributed as a 1796. The reverse is clearly the Reverse J of 1797 and not the reverse T of 1797 (Reverse BB of 1796) from the leaf positions at D, M and S. This leaves three known obverse choices, 1797 Obverses 9, 10 and 11. With the weakness at the date (understatement), I looked to the dentils above LIBERTY for attribution since the hair positioning is almost identical on all three. Obverse 9 should have a very recognizable Break behind the hair ribbon, but since this is the most common obverse of the three and might have been removed, I wanted a secondary reason for elimination. I looked to the dentil spacing over the T of LIBERTY and saw that the S-131 and the S-133 both have a dentil centered or near centered over the upright of T. The S-232 has a gap between dentils above the upright just as this coin does. Hence, a S-132 R5+ for $33. It will pair up nicely with the S-133 R5 in my collection. Of course I'll have to overlook the brillo treatment it has received, but I can do that at this price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
