OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 5:19 pm I used this PCGS image as a standard. On all, the head matches the profile of the head of 1837 except in the UBA (upper boob area). That matches the head of 1838. http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/UserIm...1054x532.jpg Edited by OldSkoolMadSkilz 06/21/2012 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

The second one is either N-2 or N-15, once again they share the obv die. I would say it is probably N-15. The first one is a beaded hair cord pece making it N-9, 10, 11, 0r 12. I think it is N-10 Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 09:05 am The first one with the beaded hair cords would be head of 38. There are several minor variations to the head punch from 1834 through 1839 but in 1837 the defining separation between the head of 37 and 38 are the hair cords.
