<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 396269, member: 15062&quot;]I don&#039;t want to step on any toes here but, in the case of this coin you identify as an 1802 and which was purchased as an 1803, if the identification is so iffy that it takes a microscopic examination of the reverse to verify the date, what&#039;s the point?&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t consider this coin (with a very generous grade of About Good, and harshly cleaned) even useful as a filler (with the caveat that I am not a collector of the type), and the money spent on it could probably have been spent on something else more useful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using the identification that it has the 1/000 error (which, to me is no more clear that the date itself), what is there that makes it an 1802 S-228 and not an 1803 S-249 (or an 1801 S-220 or S-223)?&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a Sheldon picture book of the differences at hand but do all of the letter sizes and allignments match your description? </p><p><br /></p><p>just my $.02[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
