<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1497078, member: 21705&quot;]Just adding Photos for those wondering what we are talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1796Obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The tip of the 1 is close to both the Hair and the curl (which identifies it as a draped bust by the way) It is evenly spaced but there is space between the 6 and the bust. This eliminates all obverses except Obverse 11.</p><p>Obverse 11 is paired with Reverses Q (NC-4), R (S-100) and S (S-101).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1796Reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Both gaps at ED and ST are distant eliminating Reverse Q (ED gap is close) and Rev S (ED is close and S is high).</p><p>This leaves Reverse R where both ED and ST gaps are distant.</p><p><br /></p><p>The interesting thing on this particular coin is what appears to be a break from the rim through the outer serifs of E toward the wreath. Apparently, no one has documented this crack or at least we can&#039;t locate any reference to it including Breen and Sheldon. I don&#039;t have Noyes reference, but I think Conder does. Other late state die states have a break over ATES OF but this coin is too damaged to confirm this break. It is perhaps a new Terminal die state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check this out for a possible confirming second example. It&#039;s rough due to corrosion, but I think it has the same crack.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&amp;lotNo=9102#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&amp;lotNo=9102#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&amp;lotNo=9102#Photo</a></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&amp;lotNo=9102#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1154&amp;lotNo=9102#Photo" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p><p>Or maybe not. On second look, the &#039;crack&#039; on the comp seems further left than the outer edge of the serifs. Perhaps just corrosion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
