[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3030047, member: 21705"]To be honest, I can't even tell the difference on the MS examples on Heritage Auction Archives. Here are the diagnostics mentioned in Noyes, but I can't see them. "N-5 Reverse E (7, 5) Crack thru tops of UNITED. Line from top of N in UNITED. Crack from rim over M tops of MERIC. Crumbling at left top I in AMERICA. Flowlined. C. Cracks tops of UNITE and MERIC. D. Die lapped. Lines down to right from right top of E in ___ONE and inside base of E in CENT. E. Die rough. flowlined with UNITED STATES sinking. ___Only single strong line inside base of E in CENT." ... "N-13 Reverse L . Lines down from right top of E in ONE. Dot on top of E in CENT. A. Perfect - lines. B. Die slightly worn. Flowlined. Lines fading." I hope this helps you more than it did me. I couldn't pick up on any of the described imperfections.[/QUOTE]
