Possibly original, don't believe it is a modern. It isn't a high quality one though.
It is neither a variety or an error. It's a die stage. Polishing a die does NOT create a new variety, just as the dies clashing or cracking does...
But it is no longer than on the silly head, head of 38 or the 39/6 (or any of the other young heads 1835 -38.) So there is nothing special about...
As jerryc39 said the biiby head is only on the 1839. There is no "funny" head, you are probably thinking of the "silly" head, also only in 1839....

It is one of the few types that I still don't have, and for the same reason, out of my budget.
That can happen but they are not considered to be that important. It can happen by one of two methods, the dies can clash together transferring...

That is true, knowledgeable collectors don't have to have a piece of plastic t tell them what it is.
