Hi guys, I believe this may be the more rare thin obverse lettering variety, but I'm not exactly sure.
Does anyone know how to spot the difference?
It's one with RS incuse on the truncation of the bust.

Out of curiosity, I went over to Heritage and pulled an obverse photo from 1835.
It wasn't identified thick/thin lettering but in places the letters do seem bolder than your coin--what do you think?
The lettering style appears different too. Compare the G in KING.

Thanks for that conmparison picture Kurt. I am sure now that it is the thin letters variety, which makes it a pretty good find. =)
