I usually don't ever post with the "nice coin" comments. I look in here every day, and if someone has a question, then I'll answer it. If no one...
It's an Obv 2. None of the Obv 1 markers are there. The chin/throat is not rounded, the neck truncation ends at/points to the bead to the left...
Although I look onto this site nearly every day, I very seldom post unless someone has a question or needs some info. I'm not one to post "nice...

Mine is my icon. French 1790
The 1885 is an 1886 that someone has tweeked. Answered on another forum as well
