It has a large 8 with style two hair and style two lettering which makes it the Obverse 21 and which is the same obverse for all three varieties in Group 5. The distinctive reverse feature for Reverse R is the distant inside leaves and overlapping outside leaves at (N)T. Both Reverse S (S-166) with the ARC crack from E through the fraction and Reverse T (S-167) which is always associated with an Obverse crack through the 8 also have outside leaves which come close, but do not overlap the wreath.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-One-Cent-/280692554168?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item415a9479b8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-One-Cent-/280692554168?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item415a9479b8" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1798-One-Cent-/280692554168?pt=Coins_US_Individual&hash=item415a9479b8</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This one's almost enough to make me reconsider collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
