<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CBJesse, post: 2009643, member: 40089&quot;]Maris 48-g, Very Common (R-1)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some diagnostics:</p><p>Obverse: Shorter, curved plow beam; wreath line under horse does not extend under mane; large left (viewer&#039;s perspective) ear, small right ear, positional diagnostics</p><p>Reverse: Sharp, pronounced points on shield, left point to right base of R, right point to right side of bottom loop of S, <b>shield is outlined</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Also note, the reverse develops a die crack that bisects the shield from the upper left point to the edge of the sheild approximately opposite the star. This is visible on your specimen as a worn area. It is most noticeable on the midsection of pale 5 (group of lines, from left to right).</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the condition of your piece, I think it is lovely. The planchet appears glossy and light brown in color. It looks like a large amount of the striations are planchet defects and it is free from any major rim bruises. To top it off, there is plenty of remaining detail.</p><p><br /></p><p>Excellent pickup, preferable to a common date Morgan or MS-70 bullion, any day!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jesse[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
