Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 5:55 pm The easiest way to tell is to look at the inner part of the ear. I will try and find some pictures, to show you what I am talking about. Report this Post to the Staff
samsnate Pillar of the Community Canada 1723 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 6:11 pm ok, is it that the inner ear opening is large on the Variety #1 and small on Variety #2? Report this Post to the Staff
Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 6:26 pm The opening of the ear is more circular on Obverse 1, while Obverse 2 is a bit more "abstract" These pictures are from the Charlton Catalogue. I couldn't find any good examples from ebay that showed the ear well enough. Obverse 1: Obverse 2: Report this Post to the Staff
glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 8:04 pm F.Y.I.: The Obverse #1 for the 1881H dime is quite difficult to acquire. It took me 10 years to finally upgrade to an I.C.C.S., F-15 example. I.C.C.S., 2012 Population report has NO mintstate examples listed and only a mere 25 examples in circulated grades with the highest being one AU-50. So drop whatever you're doing and grab one if you can find 'em! Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
