<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1867257, member: 21705&quot;]Well I learned that my eyes are as bad as I thought. After photographing the coin, I was able to verify it as a S-226 with damage and corrosion mimicking the NC-1. The tail tail clue was the position of the dentils over the upright of the E. The upright is dotted on the S-226 and double dotted on the NC-1. it&#039;s one of those not mentioned diagnostics which distinguish the two obverse dies. On good coins the identification is easy. On this one, the usual diagnostics were in damaged areas, though I didn&#039;t realize this yesterday.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d send photos, but I can&#039;t get photoscape or photobucket to load up. I&#039;m getting tired of redoing the computer when it crashes.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a shame too because while damaged and corroded (obviously in the ground for some time), it had great detail (~XF) and the dealer was fair on the price and let me photograph it and study it before completing the sale.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
