(ex Lee Toone)
(LMCC plate coin 8.04.x)
LMCC notes say, "A number of coins have been reported for this mintmark with right, or, more often, left facing trabeate busts. In all of the cases, the F in the right field on the reverse is indistinct. These ... (are) ... presumed to be a P with a "square" rather than "curved" upper part.
My view is that this coin is S P / MSL as CT concludes. An added reason is that GENIO POP ROM coins with S F/MSL reverses do not have trabeate types, whereas S P / MSL coins do. I think this coin belongs to the series of coins in CT 8.07.001 - 8.07.009, but with an unrecorded bust/legend combination. (This has been confirmed by a recent example that clearly has S P / MSL.)
