I think this is one of the FS varieties, due to the broken lower C in CENTS. Any thoughts? Or is this neither and just common?

If anyone can tell me whether or not this is a variety or common, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The coin is FS-906. It's a nice find, but not a big rarity. The variety is a transitional between no broken letters and one broken letter.

You're welcome. BTW, I assumed this was an 1868. Why not post a photo of the entire reverse just to be sure?

It is an 1868. I didn't post the full reverse because I didn't feel I needed to. I'm gonna post some right now. Could someone give me a value and a grade? Thanks!
