Jayson Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 5:36 pm Hello, I'm looking for a second opinion on these two 1892 cents. I think the one on the first one (on the left) is a C2 variety and the second one (on the right) is a C4 variety. They both don't have a deep groove above the eye so I know they're not C3. I think the first one has a more pointed chin, a more acute taper on the bust line, whereas both elements on the right one are more rounded. But I'm not sure about this, so just wanted to see what people think. thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Terry-T Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 05/22/2012 6:57 pm Both are obverse 4. The line from the chin to the neck smooth, while on the obverse 2 there is a little indentation, giving her a double chin. Also, where the bottom line of the bust meets the beads, the line almost touches 2 beads on the obverse 4, while on the obverse 2 it only touches 1 bead and there is a wide space from the next bead.

While the shape of the nose and the underline of the chin do look a little more like 2 than 4 in the picture; the way the tip of the bust and the tip of the crown touch/approach the beads is more indicative of 4.
