I can't tell the difference between the pictures on coinsandcanada. Anyone have an explanation? Also, grade and value? Thanks!

obverse 2, no question about it.
here is a obv 1
You guys figure it out. And those who know, maybe wait with your input to let the others learn about the difference.

It's OBV2
I'll defer to 47P7's request and not give the markers quite yet.

Looks like a P2 to me.

Coins and Canada looks like they put the same pics for 1 and 2.

I think I see it. The ribbons are shorter on my coin. Which one is more rare?

Isn't that because of the ware? I don't like the fact that coins have multiple reverses and obverses, its to hard to remember and to small to notice and if you collect them all than they just look the same.

There are many slight differences between OBV1 and OBV2, but all you need to know for quick and easy identification is the following:
OBV1.... I in GRATIA points between denticles
OBV2.... I in GRATIA points to a denticle

Aha! It's so SIMPLE! Thanks DBM! OK now what about grade and value? I know it will be details due to the plugged hole, but I think VG-8?

Would only pay BV for it. Even without the hole only as DBM says $ 5 max. there are lots around.
