<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 821653, member: 21044&quot;]The reverse is definitely Medium Letters, or Reverse of 1838. The olive branch is noticeably different on the later Large Letters variety; in fact, the Small, Medium, and Large Letters all have distinctly different olive branches. (There&#039;s little difference in letter size between medium and large IMO)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1840 Medium Letters halves often come with extensive die cracking. At a first glance, this coin does not appear to have that. However, a search through the Heritage Permanent Auction Archives shows at least one 1840 Medium Letters from the first die marriage that appears to only have a couple of cracks, and while this image isn&#039;t as clear as I&#039;d like, it appears that this coin may have cracks in the same places.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m also curious about the weight of the coin and would like to see a better image of the reverse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
