<p>[QUOTE="dave4dawg, post: 1775753, member: 39878"]Rough coin. IMO, an S-108. Couple points that differ from the 106 that caught my attention. The outer edges of the 6 in the date line up in almost a straight line with the neckline in the portrait (S-108), whereas the s-106 last digit outer edge is further to the left and not in-line. Quite evident and an "sure-fire" PUP to line up when other diagnostics are difficult to discern. The T over the forelock of the s-108 is slightly left of the juncture of the forelock and forehead as opposed to the s-106 where right side of T is directly lined up. The position of the numerals in the date also line up/position relationship to each other with the s-108. Reverses are shared with both varieties and several others, so the obverse is where the PUPs distinguish the variety[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
