Not that this thread needs even more...but here are some anyway.
1) Large date, large letters, O.101 PCGS AU55. An EDS example, nicely struck with clean fields and devices and a dirty, light brown look. An interesting variety with a solid forehead curl, all four date digits clearly recut, and a somewhat sloppy reengraving to 5 in 50c. 2) Large date, small letters, O.107 PCGS AU55. Eye catching with nice flash, pristine fields and progressive toning. An ebay gamble that turned out right. 3) Small date, small letters, O.111 PCGS AU58. Called "the child's head" for its whimsical, child-like appearance. Round, puffy cheeks, parted lips, and a wide-eyed look. EDS with clean fields and devices and a mirrored, proof-like reflection, not cartwheel. I like the pretty rose and burnt orange toning. 4) Another small date, small letters, O.117 PCGS AU55. Nice strike and clean surfaces. The common banner weaknesses is present, being directly opposite an obverse high point (Liberty's chest). 5) Again, small date, small letters, O.119 PCGS VF25. Doesn't really fit my set but it's an R4 and was priced right. $122. Lance.
