Owner's Description

1897 JF is more common that with VN assayer. A scarce date in Uncirculated, but available in low grades. All 1897 JF have 7 berries, the VN 6. IF there were to be a VN/JF, check the berries! Minor Varieties: 1. Normal date, small superscript o, J.F. Close 2. Normal date, small superscript o, J.F. Medium 3. Low 7 in date, superscript o very close to dot, J.F. Close 4. Low 7 in date, superscript o very close to dot, J.F. Medium 5. Very low 7 in date, J is low in J.F. (NGC 63 coin, old holder) 6. 7 far to the right, large wide superscript o, 7/7 (maybe 897/897) 7. 7 far to the right, superscript o over giant dot, 7/7 U/U - Looks like possibly VN/JF, but 7 berries These are my findings. Flatt reported a "with JR", but as with the 1898, I haven't seen one. The O is up and L down in "SOL" on most all coins I've viewed.
