jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 11/15/2016 01:15 am No match on cuts on coins, but a little similar to a 1953S-BA5S in Jean Cohens book, although that one has a small break on the top left of the B pointing toward 10:00 o'clock and a break in the left wheat that I am not seeing in your coin. It could be a new one. One of the experts will jump in soon. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6114 Posts	Posted 11/16/2016 2:18 pm Internet down yesterday as I got a new modem installed. Much better now. Thanks so much for the help on this one! The break in the left wheat is quite obvious when you know to look for it but I don't see conclusive proof of anything at the top of the B. You know if you look hard enough you will find what you are looking for, but for that part I am just not sure. However, it would certainly seem to be a 1953S-BA5S Report this Post to the Staff
