I have the Reiver book but can't determine the variety. I don't think its totally original but it looks good.

It was a little show in the Comfort Inn....maybe 25 tables, and not a bad trip from Charleston, WV.
<< <i>check the description for B-5 in the Reiver book. >>
I think I have it as B11, Die state a.
Heritage had the exact coin, no berries, w/ the same crack as B11, but by book has B11 WITH Berries.

I see what you're saying. Same obverse. Those die markers for the B11 are easy to see now that I turn a couple pages. Are the berries and stems strong like the B11 description says?

At one point the book says: "On the final use of B11, all of the berries are gone, and only one or two stems remain."
Thats the one I have.

That's so sad. I hope there's a chance for him/her to move.

Tmot,
I live close enough to Belpre to have that postal address. Since I do not live in town, I won't comment on your assessment. I live near Veto Lake...remember where that is? I wish I had met DnaDave today, but did not know he was around.
<< <i>Wow....very nice
.... or at least you guys (ponderit excluded) should make a trip to the smaller monthly hilliard show. If we could get a little group together, lunch would be on me and we could do a little show and tell.
