Yes, thank you for it very much rogdcam. I am guessing this is a plate 8 but since I am a total novice with plating it is a guess only and was hoping for help as I find this so hard to see even with them all side by side. I know there are people out there like you who can take a Quick Look and just know right away.
Thanks!

Truthfully, anybody who plates are using the same resources such as the nissen plate images.

Anyway, initially I went for eight as well but settled on plate ten based upon the crossbar of the "H" which has a slight pitch in eight and is level in ten. That is my pick, but it could be wrong.

And this is why I do not attempt to plate the 1851-7 three cent Washington's (US).

I'm hoping to improve at this over time but the more I look at the examples the more difficult I think it is and the more I second guess myself! Not for the faint of heart!
