    Need sharper photo, Prob #254 on up. The Sm. Date/Sm. Fraction coins have been counterfeited. Weight and photo of edge?

    Looks like a S- 254 , early state, but have to see
    it in hand as stated by Insider2. It's a small date, small
    fraction.

    I stopped looking at #254 as it was a close match to several after that number.

    S-255 is similar, with both using rev.L,
    but 255 the 3 is low & doesn't touch
    the drapery & the right lower serif of
    T & Y is broken. All the remaining
    marriages have the 100 too far to the
    right.
