philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 3:57 pm Haven't looked at my childhood collection for a while. Rediscovered this, bought at auction more than thirty years ago. Quite cheaply, as I recall, for obvious reasons. I believe it was the first Draped Bust of any kind I ever owned, but, until today, I'd never thought to try to attribute a die variety. I think I have it, but will yield to the community's consensus... Report this Post to the Staff

1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 10:37 pm Wow, I'm no good with the die varieties of these early coppers.(I really need a book on this) I'm surprised someone has come up with a guess, I thought it would be nearly impossible. Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/15/2013 7:42 pm I was thinking the same way you were, OSMS; I guess we'll have to be a consensus of two! May only have one side to look at, but the obverse of S-127 was only used in that die pairing. Report this Post to the Staff
