    I'm by no means an expert, but I have some catalogs with nice big pictures. image The closest coin I could find was S-163, based on the location of the top of the hair against LIBERTY on the obverse, and the close leaf next to the D of UNITED. In the Wes Rasmussen collection which sold in January, this variety was listed as R-4.

    I'll couch that with the fact that there are a TON of varieties for this date, and I easily could have overlooked a closer match. There are others here who are much better than this than I am, I'd wait to see their opinions as well.

    Condor should be able to answer this. I would have to search for a reasonable reference to help (the Sheldon book is difficult, auction catalogs work better)
