Reverse of 1796 Draped Busts begin and end in 1796 with four additions, Rev A of 1797, and reverses J, K and AA in 1798 all of which were earlier used on the 96 Liberty Caps.</p><p><br /></p><p>So with the search for matches limited to these years, and noting the other attribution points, we can quickly eliminate most reverses. Rev A of 1797 and Rev AA of 1798 are only paired with Hair Style 2 obverses. Rev J right stem does not point to the right foot of A. Reverse K could be a candidate, but is paired with an obverse with a cradled E which does not match this obverse. So this eliminates the alternatives to 1796.</p><p><br /></p><p>So now we look at 1796s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev S - Yes</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev U - No. Leaf too low</p><p><br /></p><p>Rev V - No. Leaf too high</p><p><br /></p><p>Revs H, J, L, M, N, P, Q, X - No, No inner berry right of loops.</p><p><br /></p><p>So we have the reverse. Reverse S of 1796. It is paired with 3 obverses, 11, 12 and 13.</p><p><br /></p><p>11. - No. HWH left of upright of R.</p><p><br /></p><p>12. - Yes.</p><p><br /></p><p>13. - No.&nbsp; HWH under upright of R, SHWH under upright of E.</p><p><br /></p><p>So we have determined it is S-102, 12-S, an R4 variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>We can also see it is consistent with what we can see of the top of the date, particularly the 1.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
