mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 05:43 am Hi, The coin here appears to have the telltale left-leaning '1' located between the '1' and '2'. The 812 group also seems to be bunched closer together etc. I used these PUPs as the determining factors to label this a S288 R2. Please agree or opine otherwise. Report this Post to the Staff

mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 05:51 am The following photo shows the date at a different angle producing a little better close-up: My Photograde book states that a G-4 Turban head LC can have a reverse with the rims slightly worn down into the letters because of characteristic uneven striking. Do you agree that is the case with this coin? Also, please throw in the grade while you're checking out the variety. thx Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/21/2015 3:42 pm I'm coming up with 291. The point of leaf below the D is too far right, and the POL below the second S isn't far enough right to be 288. Report this Post to the Staff

Also, I guess I neglected to take into account that semi-horizontal mini dash under the letter 'E' in ONE which would lend even further support to your opinion... Any additional thoughts on the grade? Report this Post to the Staff
