philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 06/29/2013 7:05 pm I see what you mean. Those colons on the reverse don't look right. And I think you need to keep looking for an obverse with a lower C, that touches the bust. Report this Post to the Staff

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 3:12 pm I have a once and twice through my Bowers book. What do you think about M 16.1 for the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 4:09 pm 16.1 is a "large letters" variety. The letter punches are very different from this, which is almost certainly a Jarvis and Co. Connecticut. See the five-pointed device on top of the head, to the left of the C? Same "cinquefoil" as was used on Jarvis' Fugios, and they aren't on Miller 16.1. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 06/30/2013 5:40 pm I see it now. I was going by the C and the O that looks tipped to the left. I will keep looking:) Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 4:08 pm I think I'm going with Miller 33.36-T.2. What do you say, v? Report this Post to the Staff
vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 07/04/2013 9:04 pm What strikes me into thinking you are correct is the relation of the C and O of CONNEC, and how the O is tilted and offset. Another factor is the date and ETLIB which is right on. I concur v! swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
