mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 12:47 am Neither PCGS CoinFacts, NGC Variety Plus nor Cherrypickers are helping me out to identify this coin as a variety or not. Both PCGS and NGC do agree, however, that only two varieties exist for this coin: Browning I and II At this point all I wish to do is to see the nuances of each variety side by side via some photos and I can take it from there etc. thx Report this Post to the Staff

B-1 has large arrowheads which nearly reach the denticles and have length greater than the height of the letters, and B-2 has much smaller arrowheads which are slightly smaller than the letters. When in doubt, look the coin up in the Heritage archives and sort by ggrade, highest first. The auction description of the high-eend coins will usually contain a variety description.

On B-2 it is over the right edge of the 2. Here are images of the rev of a 31 B-5 that uses the same rev die as 32 B-1, and a 32 B-2. 1831 B-5, same rev die as 32 B-1 B-2 Edited by Conder101 09/29/2017 10:02 am Report this Post to the Staff
