some Close AM's and some Wide AM's. Another thing to look for will be repunched mint marks, double dies, rotated reverses (not sure on the proper name).

I'm certain there is much more to look for and many websites to use for reference. I'm not certain on all of them but surely others will post.

Good luck.

Coop, that's a very nice library of shots!
Not to be nitpicky here, but your two "overdates" are actually RPDs using the same date.
Overdates of course are where a die is reused with a later date impression, such as this 1829/1827 CBH:

Believe it or not I gave up half way through. I had to go do something. That's about 1/8 of the images I have on the image host, so if someone want more I guess I can still add to it.

Just counted 104 images I added on. So get the tarp over the keyboard and drool!
