<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1093459, member: 21705&quot;]I was attributing coins on eBay and came across a S-221 and found something that I thought was BIG. Holmes Early state S-221 had the obverse of the S-216 (Obverse 4) and not the his Middle State S-221 (Obverse 8). </p><p><br /></p><p>Because they are so close, I had to use a die scratch or break running from the E to the hair to make the distinction. On the better specimens the difference can be found in dentil location underneath the 1.</p><p><br /></p><p>Low and behold, while reading Breen to find any alternative die information to confirm my find, I see he calls both Obverses his Obverse 4. Now I think I can prove that Breen was wrong on this one with dentils and that the Holmes Early die is Obverse 4 and not Obverse 8 by use of this die scratch.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m only a few hours into this find with jury duty squeezed in (I was elected foreman again, even though they don&#039;t call it that anymore). This is a significant claim which requires significant evidence, so I&#039;ll try to provide it. Pictures to follow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
