Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 07:54 am In Krause, this coin comes in two different verieties. One "Sword privy mark" and the other "Sword in scabbard privy mark". I have aquired two such coins from the same collector, unfortunately without any information. I have not been able to tell whether I have two of one or both. Not do I know which of these varieties are used for the rest of the series. Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how? I apologize for not offering pictures, but these coins are really small and I am unable to offer much in the way of detail with my limited equipment and skill. The coins are not exactly high grade either, which does not help. Report this Post to the Staff

Rdwarrior Valued Member United States 266 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 09:34 am I found this site showing the privy marks, looks like one has a small diamond at he end of the sword where the other does not, I assume the diamond one is the one with scabbard. http://www.jezuss.nl/munttekens.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 01/21/2012 10:25 am Thank you, Rdwarrior! The wear makes it difficult to tell for sure, but both 1874's have a somewhat longer sword than a 1871 I have, so I assume both have Scabbards. This is logical, the version without is definitely the most difficult one. Report this Post to the Staff
