Message:: [QUOTE="Marshall, post: 3076414, member: 21705"]I just picked this up on eBay for $6.50 plus $3.50 shipping or $10 Total. The obverse isn't much to look at, but the reverse is readily identifiable as Reverse Q of 1803. This is the reverse used on the S-263 an S-264. The question is which one is it? The heavy sinking not only at STA, but also TES would seem to indicate later and perhaps the S-264. But there also appears to be some crumbling of the die under the date, but not the CUD of the late S-263. I resolved the question because the Large 3 has has an upward serif as well as the lower serif and this had only the lower serif. But now the question is whether the reverse die is actually a later state or it's just an illusion from an unusual wear pattern interacting with the die break. In any event, I now have the Reverse of the S-264 to go with My Obverse of S-264, even though both are on other pairings. But this is certainly a good pickup for me.[ATTACH=full]773875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]773876[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]773877[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
