What is the PUP in determining the Variety: Type 1/2 Large S from the Variety: Type 2/2 Large S ?

    Thank you lermish for this info.
    I have the 1/2 Large S which is estimated to have less than 20 known.
    2/2 estimated less than 10

    Just whether the obverse is a type 1 or 2. Yours is a 1/2 Large S. A tough variety but a pretty decent sized step below the 2/2 Large S in difficulty.

    Type 1 Obverse:
    The type one obverse is most easily identified by the flag pointing to the left and three fingers on Liberty’s outstretched hand.

    Type 2 Obverse:
    The type two obverse is most easily identified by the flag pointing down and four fingers on Liberty’s outstretched hand.
