Rick Snow at Eagle Eye Rare Coins sells an attribution guide which describes in great detail all the FE and IHC varieties. If I remember right he sells an online version and a printed version. I believe you can buy the total volume or individual years. If you are really into IHC and FE varieties I highly recommend the guide. |

The Snows that carry quite a premium in the lower grades would be this 1897 Snow 1 and the 1894 RPD (not sure of Snow number)
Most of the other varieties would need to be in the high AU to MS to carry a significant premium.

I agree. The 1897 IHC S-1 is fairly common in the lower grades. You can probably find 15 -20 on ebay for sale right now. The variety is a lot scarcer in the higher grades, esp. the reds and red browns, thus the higher premium. |

If the ebay seller salted it why doesn't he mention the variety in the description? I would point that out if I salted it. Since he also sells oriental rugs I doubt he knows! Does Snow do rarity ratings? Is this a R-2? |

Snow has a 5 star rating system with 5 being the highest. The rating takes in consideration rarity and desirability. This coin has a 5 star rating which carries a 10x premium over a non variety. However, I think past auctions are a better indication of the value. Even Snow says that his ratings are vague and open to market interpretations.

If you look at his other listings you'll see that. Plus the start bid of 160 bucks  lol. Oregon coin geek.....*** GO BEAVS ! ! ! ***

From Snow's FE and Indian Head cents Guide Book 2nd Edition: "one of the most popular misplaced digit varieties. Scare variety in high grades, more readily available in low grades. Known as a naked-eye variety. Suprisingly rare in gem red condition. Highest know is MS-63 Red. This variety is labeled by ANACS and PCGS." |
