<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 24722546, member: 9270&quot;]There are a LOT of die varieties of the Braided Hair large cents during this time period.</p><p>As few years with about 20 but many more with 40-50.</p><p>I&#039;ve gone through two dates with about 30 varieties and haven&#039;t done well.</p><p><br /></p><p>It appears the variety pick-up-points in the Noyes&#039; references were done with high grade (AU and MS) coins.</p><p>Since I&#039;m dealing with mostly VF and XF coins, many of the identifying features were so small or fine that they are gone.</p><p>After working on a coin for 1-1½ hours and not coming up with a definite answer, it&#039;s getting a bit frustrating.</p><p>I also have Grellman&#039;s book so I&#039;m hoping that with the two references, my microscope and more patience I&#039;ll have better luck.</p><p>I think doing one coin at a time with a generous break in between.</p><p><br /></p><p>Last thing I want to have to do is ship the coins back to the TPG&#039;s and pay for them to ID the variety and re-slab the coins with the variety number included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
