I will try to hook up the scanner to a different computer. The one it was on kinda fried. But I can't easily see anything there.

Good to be able to know, even if it means knowing it's the "cheaper" one.
John Reich wrote:...Looking at the "L" in LIBERTY, I think I see a space between the liberty cap and the "L". If the "L" touched the cap, it could be S67 or S70. With the space, I think you have either S69 or S70.
Definitely a space next to the L.

Not gonna work. It's quite smooth. There are only GHOSTS of any details left.

I'm wondering how many people could have done as much as you have already done, even if they had the coin in hand! Basically, with S69 or S70, we're talking about one of the most common varieties of 1794, right?
