With Obverse 2, they are tough. For the last ten years, not one has changed hands on Heritage Auctions. Several with obverse 3 (a) during that same time period.

he toughest to find (and let Rob know if you find one) is the Obv 3 SD/LL with the large serif T in Gratia and the T in Vicky R/P'd.
bill is this the obverse you are referring to? although the reverse of this coin is a SD/SL

gidjit - that looks like a regular Obverse 3a to me. Big serif in the "E"s but a normal "T"

Gidgit and John K .. Yes, that is the large serif T in your first enlargement and, as I said, I have a few of them .. all Obv 2's. A "normal" T has serifs much shorter.

John K ... The large crossbars on the E's are the surest marker for an Obv 3 .. they all have it, except for the 1890's, the 1st year for the Obv 3's. If you see a large crossbar E, it's an Obv 3.

Gidgit .. when are you coming to one of our Hamilton Coin Club meetings (next Monday. B

Rob put the "0%" in the book because he's almost certain that there were no SD/LL Obv3's minted with the large serif T. Sorry if I confused some of you. B

I think I may have caused the confusion. Dies and Diadems shows 0% for the obverse 3 die with the PEI "T" paired with a SDLL reverse. That does not mean I found one after the random sample. I have never found one and I am pretty certain there are none.

I think I see what you are talking about now. I'll have to check the other 91's I have to see if I got lucky.

Awesome find and great work!

I am pretty sure I picked this one up at Heritage about 5 years ago, maybe as part of a lot.

I picked this one up 13 years ago. PCGS MS-64RB. (Edited because I confused the pedigree with another coin). These coins are scarce, but there are a handful out there in higher grades.

Okie are you sure? Short seriffs in E.

About 4 years ago you seemed certain it was 2.

Wasted ... I'm sorry, my computer screen didn't show the serifs correctly. Yes, it's an Obv 2 (norm serifs on the E). Maybe it's my bad eyes and not the screen
