  generation 4 & 5 smart camera phones can be had inexpensively ($30-100) and take good images and once the settings are optimized for coins, you're set.
  
  im working on upgrading for MANY reasons.

  The pics match the 1871 Bold N Reverse in Rick Snow's Attribution Guide.
  
  There is a Snow-2 listed as a business strike, additional PUP: heavy die file mark sticks out of denticles above E in united and light re punching of the 1 visible above the base only.
  
  There is also a bold N proof with 2 obverse dies. The 2nd die is shared with the above business strike, but... They have the 1-8-7 farther apart than your pics show.
  
  How are the rims? It could be the other proof dies that aren't 1-8-7 far apart. I'm sure Rick will be by shortly

  Here's another pic. Sorry I don't have coin in hand. These are Iphone pics of screen shots!! It's in a ANACS 10 holder fwiw. The CPG does not list a Snow number for it!

  It looks to me to be the S2. Very rare and desirable.

  I cherrypicked a MS63 out of a B&M auction in Baltimore about 5 years ago. It sold for $10,000. Probably worth more now that PCGS will label it. Prior to that I had only seen one example. It was only known to exist earlier because Breen listed it. There are similar Proofs. The Proof with the 7 & 1 nearly touching (a different die and paired with a Shallow N reverse) is also scarce but not like the S2.
