<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1668232, member: 21705&quot;]This is a Large Cent which is probably overpriced for it&#039;s condition, but it intrigues me because of it&#039;s Reverse. I nominally attributed it as the S-205. But the reverse actually looks more like the Reverse of S-195.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1800-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-Penny-1C-PCGS-XF-Details-Rare-this-Nice-/140937418647?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item20d0865797" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/1800-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-Penny-1C-PCGS-XF-Details-Rare-this-Nice-/140937418647?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item20d0865797" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/1800-Draped-Bust-Large-Cent-Penny-1C-PCGS-XF-Details-Rare-this-Nice-/140937418647?pt=Coins_US_Individual&amp;hash=item20d0865797</a></p><p><br /></p><p>These reverses are VERY similar. Breen writes about Reverse T {Sheldon&#039;s P}, &quot;Similar to Reverse H {Sheldon&#039;s F}, but the berry right of (N)T is of normal size (tiny and weak on Reverse H).</p><p><br /></p><p>On this example, that berry is tiny and weak.

Damage or corrosion causing Breen Rev T {Sheldon&#039;s P} to mimic Rev H&nbsp; {Sheldon&#039;s F}.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. It could be the coin which would indicate that both are actually the same die and that a cleaning or polishing accounts for the difference in the berry size. It would not be the first such occurrence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
