<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 4958456, member: 1765&quot;]There are many 17 berry (D1) reverse dies -- over 100, I think.&nbsp; One each was used for Chapman proofs and the &quot;Zerbe proofs.&quot;&nbsp; They were most likely also used for business strikes.&nbsp; Yours is a 16 berry (D2) reverse.&nbsp; The berry is actually my least favorite way of telling the two reverses apart.&nbsp; The D1 reverse also has lots of scratches on the top arrowhead, while it is smooth on the D2.&nbsp; The D1 has the middle talon of the eagle&#039;s right (viewer&#039;s left) foot descending below the branch, the D2 lines it up with the bottom of the branch.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
