<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 1104953, member: 21705&quot;]That&#039;s what I came up with. This is the first appearance of the style 2 punches (Most easily seen on the L and R) which were generally used on 1798 and onward. The imbedded 7 confirms the Obverse. The 2 reverses are easily distinguished by the position of the leaf under N. It&#039;s centered on the S-142 and to the right side on the S-143. ( I guess some people might find the stemless wreath on the S-143 a little easier for distinction. The O(NE) almost being over the C(ENT) and further apart than any other Wreath Reverse is also diagnostic)</p><p><br /></p><p>Now there are no problem free examples listed in the condition census by Breen (13) with the top coin graded at a net VF20. The axial misalignment which usually makes the STATES disappear must have been corrected on this one or at least minimized as well as allowing the end of the bust to show more boldly.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is often one of the last 2 or 3 1797s needed to complete the 1797 set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
