    S-241, stemless wreath, doubled fraction bar, final "S" in "STATES" dropped.

    The S under S on the reverse instantly identifies this piece as S-241 (EDS). I recently sold an example, so it is fresh in my mind. That particular reverse die was only used in two die marriages, with one being an 1803 cent.

    I was hoping this was a 1/000 variety. I cherry picked this on Ebay for $33.00. I Think I did ok though, even if it is not the 1/000.

    I think I bought my son one of those (dropped "S"). I need to check the records at home as it is still raw
    I think it is pretty cool

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I would rather have three cool diagnostics, which
    you can see, rather than one you can't make out.

    Besides, this one is not much more common than
    the 1/000 coin.

    All-in-all, I think it's a cool coin for that small an
    investment.

    I see a no stems variety but do not see a dropped S variety that PCGS recognizes. Does anyone know if they do?
