I cannot for the life of my attribute the Bobby Heads.

The only "rare" one is N-15 and is this one? Weak reverse outer leaves and berries especially on the left side?

I don't have the Newcomb literature directly so I wing it.

Not sure exactly which one, but probably not N-15, the curl doesn't cut far enough into the 9. My first guess is an N-6, but brighter pics would help.
Rest in Peace

I wonder which 13 year old came up with that name way back in 1852.

@SOB, I think that the first link in this old CCF post may be a little useful:

I am just not well versed in these.
I saw the weakness on the outer leaves of the reverse and thought maybe an N-15
