<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1641648, member: 21705&quot;]I love giving tips on these. But sometimes I have to get a little selfish. I recognized this particular coin (not just the variety) as having been sold just last September as part of the Phillip Clover sale. It was unattributed and a very nice provenance wasn&#039;t even mentioned. This particular coin has been in the hands of legends.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the auction I won.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F181078846703%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1439.l2649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=3&amp;campid=5335874456&amp;toolid=10001&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F181078846703%3FssPageName%3DSTRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT%26_trksid%3Dp3984.m1439.l2649" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/181078846703?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&amp;_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the same coin from the Phillip Clover Sale in September.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1174&amp;lotNo=3138" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1174&amp;lotNo=3138" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1174&amp;lotNo=3138</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Now it is perhaps unique in that this variety usually has a plain edge where this particular coin has a reeded edge (V) seen on a single example each of S-124, S-125, S-126 and S-142 in 1797 and some early 1798 varieties. Breen mentions seeing one and this is likely the one he saw since he was an associate of Sheldon, one of the previous owners. Were this given a sub-variety as others with differing edge devices, it would be R8+.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry guys. I couldn&#039;t share this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
