I found out that my S-76a has been sold and so I was looking at the Heritage Site for comparable coins and sales. I stumbled upon this 2004 sale and if it accurately portrays the coin, I believe a new mule and variety exists. Look carefully at the obverse and reverse and I believe we have a 2D pairing on a lettered edge planchet. Now I'll show both the link and an enhanced photo of the coin as presented. Since both pictures appear to be encased in the same type and date slab, a simple swap of photos is less likely, but still possible. But both obverse and reverse would have to be mistakes since the attribution of 76a would be die pairing 3C. http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=278&lotNo=28
After another look, it appears to actually be a S-74. I jumped the gun on the Reverse D because I mistook PMD under the U(N) for a third leaf. After reviewing it with fresh eyes, it was obviously not Reverse D since the leaf at T is at a different angle than on Reverse D. After determining that Reverse A matched up except for the "triple" leaf under U(N), I looked more closely and determined my error. Still, another error by TPGs when it comes to variety attribution. They really just don't have the time to do it right and I would advise they stop trying.
I didn't have my references the other day when I first saw this but I knew it couldn't be rev D, ONE CENT is much too high in the wreath. On Rev A,B, and C ONE CENT is high and the two double leaf clusters that flank CENT are completely below the base line of CENT. On Rev D,E, and F One cent is lower and the leaf clusters extend above the base line. On rev G (S-79) ONE CENT is again high but the cluster by C is a single leaf (Or at least it appears to be) I had a chance to look at it with a reference today and it is S-74.
