<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1492216, member: 21705&quot;]I&#039;m breaking out of a very long slump wherein I was repeatedly sniped in my attempts to add to my collection of R5 Varieties. Last week, I purchased an attributed S-183, my third lifetime and second at this time. I posted a question which drew little interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just got this tonight. It has a small hole which probably helped keep most collectors from giving it a second look. But it is my second S-142 and about $150 cheaper than my last. It is the rarer of two varieties which use the same obverse and is the first use of the second style of lettering. The other is a stemless reverse and draws more attention and interest.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/S-142Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/S-142Reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Each of these are estimated to have 31-45 known surviving examples. There have been 9 sales of this variety in their history. As I was telling a rookie on another thread, rarity isn&#039;t everything when it comes to value, but I like it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
