Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 01/13/2016 8:13 pm I just bought this coin at auction and it sure looks like it's the rare NF2 obverse. I'm no good at discerning the minute differences in the hair styles from the obverse 2 and 3. However, there's definitely no dots before and after 'Newfoundland' which leads me to believe I might have the good one. Any help in confirming this would be appreciated. Thanks. Also please excuse the poor quality of the images. These pics are from the auction. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Peter4805 Pillar of the Community Canada 987 Posts	Posted 01/14/2016 9:08 pm Thank you DBM and SHAFTA9a for your input. I did notice the doubling on the last 8 but don't know if this is a common feature on this variety or not. Edited by Peter4805 01/14/2016 9:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jerry Valued Member Canada 109 Posts	Posted 06/15/2016 7:20 pm This is a rare and very very underrated coin. From a "pop" count it's in the same categories as the 1873, 1873h, and 1885. The prices really need to be adjusted on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
