    It is a Sheldon-260. The combination of the leaf position below the 'S', the leaf position
    below 'OF', and the leaf covering half the base of the 'T' locks it down.

    I was undecided between S-260 and S-261 as they share the same reverse but I'll agree w/ IrishMikey as the date more resembles S-260 than the S-261.
