Your lines drawn for the pointed/blunt are off. In the final photo of your coin, it looks to be a blunt 5.

 

It's not that far off .
So lets look at the 6 in the date

The blunt 5 has a bend in the shaft on the 6 .


The pointed 5 has a smooth bend in the shaft on the 6 .


Easy to see it's the pointed 5 .
Look how smooth the bend in the shaft on the 6 is .

Which again makes it a pointed 5 .

 

I see blunt also. The pointed is around 45 degrees.

 

Guys look at the inside bar of the 5 .
Look at the pointed 5 .


Now look at the blunt 5 .


Now here's mine .
Again, pointed 5 .

 

Looks like a large bead, pointed 5 to me.

 

I agree

 

Just normal die deterioration will make coins appear to be different. I still think that it looks like a blunt 5, but I'm nowhere near an expert on small cents (I'm only slightly above the novice level). However, I spent most of the last 20 years trying to decipher large cent varieties, so I'm well aware of normal die wear vs something modified by the mint.

 

Is there much of a premium for this variety?

 

Here's a ebay list of sales .

Truthfully, that doesn't help me due to my ignorance on what similar year coins that high of grade would cost. Was hoping for Yes/No and maybe something like 10% or so more than the years before and after.

 

looks like a large beads pointed to me but best to get it certified.

 

The Charlotte standard catalogue says, small beads = A points between beads and large beads = A points at the bead.
Also I agree with the blunt 5 not pointed 5. The pointed five has an almost 45 degree angle. The angle of your coin’s five is nowhere near that of the example of the pointed five that you have posted.

 

That should say Charlton Standard Guide
