Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 192 Posts	Posted 05/08/2026 05:58 am Hi, I'm pretty new to US coinage this early. The line coming down off her forehead seems to relate to a variety, but there seem to be other thing that don't align with that variety. What variety is this? I was thinking maybe S-236. What are thoughts on condition? Is VF overly optimistic? Do not read this sentence. Edited by Buffalo soldat 05/08/2026 07:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5667 Posts	Posted 05/08/2026 08:30 am Nice coin. It's an earlier die state of the elephant trunk variety, S-239. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin...239-rb/36327 Report this Post to the Staff
Buffalo soldat Valued Member New Zealand 192 Posts	Posted 05/08/2026 08:37 am Thanks, Zurie. I did see the S-239, but didn't think it was that for some reason. It is very pronounced, and I think interest in this was less than it should have been because people thought it was PMD. I wasn't sure, but had a feeling it was actually some kind of die issue. What are your thoughts on condition? Do not read this sentence. Edited by Buffalo soldat 05/08/2026 08:38 am Report this Post to the Staff
