<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BustHalfNut, post: 3329310, member: 91762&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking very closely at this one, and am convinced I have it...really.&nbsp; I have gone through the entire Overton book and it&#039;s definitely an 1827 since no other variety from any other year is even close.&nbsp; There are a few other 1827&#039;s that are similar, but nothing lines up as a perfect match except the 148, <b>unless I&#039;m missing something.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Notice the following points in comparison with the pics of the known F12 example also pictured:</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; Stars 6 and 7 align in the same way with the dentils.</p><p>2.&nbsp; Stars 4-5 are slightly closer than 5-6 and 6-7</p><p>3.&nbsp; Stars 7 (pointing high), 8 and 13 seem to be spaced/positioned relatively correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; Notice the left side of the scroll relative to the D above (you can make it out if you try).</p><p>5.&nbsp; Notice the right side of the scroll intersecting slightly right of center on the base of the M above.</p><p>6.&nbsp; Look very closely and you may see a faint evidence of the dot above the beak.&nbsp; I look under magnification and can almost see something if I concentrate but can&#039;t be too sure.&nbsp; Nevertheless some known 148&#039;s are missing the dot entirely even in better grades, and certainly a weak dot could be worn off.&nbsp; This proves nothing either way.</p><p>7. The bottom 3 pics are a 2-image overlay (blend) that I did with a known VF35 and the 50c position and spacing seems an exact match.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/6p1CJTPy/1827-148-obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Y9N49SdN/1827-148-rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/WpHVZvx0/1481a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/LXypNK5K/148obv1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/Y0hwPnL4/148rev11.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/cH1WR4sB/148rev12.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/rFNvJ2Ph/1827-148-rev-overlay.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="https://i.postimg.cc/TY6zg3CL/1827-148-rev-overlay35.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="https://i.postimg.cc/8kM876Bg/1827-148-rev-overlay-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
