    Need a slightly larger shot to be sure, but it sure looks like my N-25:

    To tell if your coin is the same variety, look for a small die gouge along the dentils between star #1 and #2, as can be seen in the photo above...Mike

    From the date position I come up with four possibilities N-14, 17, 18, or 23. The problem is the features you need to see to tell them apart are too fine to be seen on photos. N-14, 17, and 18 are all common varieties but N-23 is an R-5 variety. It isn't the N-25 that Leadfoot posted. The left edge of the foot of the 1 is in a different place relative to the denticals below it.

    I'm sure you know this, but as long as there is no bid yet, you can always revise and add a reserve. You can also modify the description to include the variety info.
