Need some large cent attribution help

BlackhawkBlackhawk Posts: 3,899 ✭✭✭
I've went through Penny Whimsey until the whimsey turned to acknowledged futility...I can't seem to put a finger on this one's attribution. To me, it looks like S-225, but it doesn't seem to have the denticle marks up into the date and bust. It's hard to attribute because the obverse upper left quadrant/reverse lower left quadrant seems to be lightly struck. There's some corrosion ot planchet problems around the fraction on the reverse, which doesn't help matters either. I know that my photos leave something to be desired. Any ideas?

    I believe it is S-225.
    Highest leaf is Right of S2,
    Can't be S-231, which is stemless,
    Can't be S-232, which has a corrected T from a Y in Liberty,
    It appears to have a slight rim break below 802, die state IV
    with clashed dentils probably lapped by then.

    Don't know what's going on with top of T3, seems to be missing it's top.
    Please provide bigger, clearer images next time.
