Those seem right to me...nice coins!

And yes--the way I tell a "High 7" is the second 7 feels slightly higher. Your photo is a good example to see this.

Your assumptions are correct nds76,
Now if you can find the 1978 round jewel,
The 1982 small beads, and the 1977 low 7

Your laughing

Speaking of the 5c 1977 low, I was always sceptical about the one I have. Mine could be MS-65+ but there is this small hairline over the tail (not visible on picture).

Your thoughts?

Marc

PS. I found a 50c 1982 SB from a junk lot I won on ebay!

Marc--
Yours is a 77 low; I'm pretty sure on that one, but can be definitive with larger/sharper pics.
Compare this to NDS76's copy, and the difference is pretty obvious:
Low 7

High 7

Marc, nice shot! I'm positive that's a Low 7 from the shape and position.

Yesssss!

Speaking of the 1982 50c SB variety, although we talk about large/small beads I find the relief differences to be another factor for identification.
