Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 08/25/2023 4:11 pm I just started going thru my collection of earlier dated coins and got stumped on this one. I see there are 3 different types of heads and several different types of hair. I could use some help starting with this one! (I have alot to learn) Edited by Tacc 08/25/2023 4:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff

CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 12:53 pm The pic looks kinda funny. I am not sure if it really has been cleaned. It could just be unnaturally bright photo. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 08/26/2023 5:49 pm Yes I'm pretty sure it's uncleaned. The actual color is darker brown. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/02/2023 07:25 am And the variety number is N-8, the only Petite head in 1839. The Petitie head stayed in use for 1840 - the first part of 1843. (There are 15 varieties in 1843, 11 of them are Petite heads.) Report this Post to the Staff
