Here's a nice example of Y# 512.2, a larger type with the obverse hammer handle extending between the right central star leg. These are known to be larger and this one is ~ 35.2 mm.
Please compare this with the other SSS 500 Cash examples. I have 14 examples of these and probably 10 of them are Y512.1 - and other examples that conform to Y 512 & Y512.2 with another ambiguously leaning to Y 512. So with that anecdotal evidence one might draw some idea of relative scarcity that does not conform to KM (Krause-Mishler SCWC).
