<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 896322, member: 21705&quot;]Now I agree with the attribution from the die breaks at L and above 7 circled in red, but I now see something I can&#039;t explain when comparing Leadfoot&#039;s S-155 to the Holmes S-155, the lettering looks different at the bases of the uprights of every letter. There appears to be an indention below the bases of those uprights making the lettering more delicate and attractive in my opinion. The Leadfoot example is a later die state since the second break at L is present on the Leadfoot example, but is not on the Holmes example. The Holmes example appears flat at the bottoms of the uprights. I&#039;ve used yellow pointers to show what I&#039;m seeing. Now I&#039;ve seen this before on a coin which was extremely well photographed. But this couldn&#039;t be separate punches on the same die so I&#039;m a bit confused.</p><p><br /></p><p>The marked up Leadfoot S-155:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/original.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The marked up Holmes S-155:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/14916_0280_1_lg-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
