There are DDO's RPD's TPD's too many to mention. Most have obvious markers on the date others require more careful observations of certain die cracks or clash marks

I'm still fairly clueless on the varities even though nohope pointed me in the direction of a great reference book a couple years ago. It's Kevin Flynn's "Getting Your Two Cents Worth". Although it wasn't the easiest book to find it's got a lot of info & was reasonably priced.

For those looking for more information on Two Cent varieties I would recommend: "Longacre's Two Cent Piece Die Varieties & Errors" by Frnak Leone "The Two Cent Piece And Varieties" by Mryon M. Kliman "Getting Your Two Cents Worth" by Kevin Flynn "The Authoritative Reference On Two Cents Coins" by Kevin Flynn.
