C&T illustrate this coin on page 227 of the 2nd edition of C&T as an example of the uncertain mint mark of either S|F//MSL or S|P//MSL. They hypothesize that this coin is has a poorly cut P and should not be placed with the S|F//MSL emission unless higher quality specimens come to light that are definitively marked with the S|F//MSL mint mark. As such, it is best classified as a 8.07.018 for the time being and placed with the latter emission.
