SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/24/2017 1:24 pm I don't have access to the printed material which is the only way to attribute these that's not hit-or-miss, so although this might be a match for the S-169 faces I can't be sure. The lack of the rim Cud isn't a dealbreaker since the strike appears o have missed the denticles there; I saw a few like this while researching. I will say the I-B space in LIBERTY seems too wide for the 168/169 obverse, but the absence of visible serifs on the B might play in to this. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 09/24/2017 5:06 pm Thanks, I see what you mean about the I B space. I went through every Variety quickly, but I'll give it a good look, and take my time when I have a moment. Hopefully a couple more of the copper mavens will check in in the mean time edit: Ok, slight revision. S-170, B-29, R.3 am sticking with that......unless someone proves me wrong Edited by edweather 09/24/2017 7:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Are the dies rotated relative to each other? All the examples I looked at had the reverse rotated counterclockwise from where it "should" be. Report this Post to the Staff
