philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 12:22 pm Well, come on! The first one is a another death ray S-167! Easier to see on this one that it's a 1798. Edited by philadelphian 03/07/2013 12:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
paddy murphy Valued Member United States 401 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 12:39 pm I saw that but didn't want to violate your copyright to the name. pretty sure #2 is a 1797, but she's been through the ringer.... Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 12:46 pm #2 is 1797, and seems to have the reverse of 128 or 129. If you can make out the M in AMERICA, it should be stamped over an E. The height of the 2nd 7 and position of the letters in LIBERTY make me think S-128. Agree or disagree?

paddy murphy Valued Member United States 401 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 1:11 pm I've got 2 more drapped bust beauties in slightly better but still rough shape if you want to see them. 1800 & 1805.... Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 1:53 pm The second one is a 1797 and I would say probably S-126. It is definitely the rev of 125,126,and 127 with the upright of the E in ONE almost directly over the upright of the T in CENT. On 125 and 127 the second 7 does not touch the bust but it does on 126.

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 03/07/2013 2:05 pm But, Conder, don't you think the last outer leaf at the left wreath is pointing to the right of the second T in STATES? Doesn't it point to the left on S-125, 126, and 127? Look again; quite corroded in that area of the reverse, but the upright of the E seems well to the left of the upright of the T.
