If anyone has an example of a close I'd appreciate the photo. It's much easier to judge with a real shot full coin to reference to. As far as I can tell this is far but idk what the close actually looks like for comparison.

Get a Charlton's or a Haxby. They're all in there.

It's a far leaf, but like Okie mentions either coin book is the real treasure. I don't leave home with out my loupe + coin book

You should know I have the 70th addition Charlton:p I just got back home and checked it out and it's easy enough to see it's a far leaf. I don't know much about the Haxby books should I pick one up as well? Edit just for reference on me having the book-_-. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for me to post a photo of the actual book so if so please delete it asap, if it's ok then this is just to show I have been reading my Charlton( just was not available at work when I found the coin) the book was mint when I got it a few weeks ago. I have not been friendly enough with it. .  I was about to post the page with the specific info but I have to assume that is definitely not ok to do.

Wrekkdd As I said earlier, I use the 9 as my PUP. If there is space between the tail and the denticles, it is a Far Leaf. If it is almost touching then it is a Near Leaf

If you can afford to have a second book, I leave one in my glove box in my car and one in my console of my truck along with a loupe in each vehicle.
It's come in handy many times when cherry picking

Isn't the second edition all about bullion?

papeldog meant for you to buy a 2nd copy of the book, so you always have one with you ... at home and away.

Aww that's not a bad idea at all. Maybe I'll grab a newer edition.

WHY is the obv image of the OP's coin not posted? The title did mention NSF? There is obviously NO question about what the Rev is. Just saying/asking? did I miss something?

I did t bother to post the revers image due to the fact I could easily tell by the I that it was an NSF, if I had a SF far then I would have been much happier with the find lol. You are correct that I should have posted both sides but one variety I was able to tell at the time of the post and another I was not. This post was more about how to be sure of the close and far varieties because I did not have my Charlton on hand at the time of the post. Edit: not a great photo but the NSF is clear. @47P7 not sure if you think the newer post from someone else was the OP but it's not but it does prove a point as I'm curious to weather or not the person who posted on my thread has a NSF or SF close variety.
