<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1056721, member: 6036&quot;]What&#039;s really thrilling is it&#039;s a Sheldon-2. This is the rarest of the Sheldon chain cents at r.4+, encountered far less frequently than the more sought-after S-1 AMERI.</p><p><br /></p><p>This obverse die was used on the first two varieties of Chain cents. The first, S-1, is the famous &quot;AMERI&quot; cent. It&#039;s the very first circulation strike coin made by the US Mint, and the first in the new mint building. This obverse die is characterized by the &quot;widest date&quot; of the Chain cents. One give-away is the space &#039;twixt the 7 and 9 is wider than the 9.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another key to attribution - check the R in LIBERTY. If it&#039;s rotated clockwise (leaning to right), it&#039;s a Sheldon-3, the most common of the chain cents at r.3.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
