<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1680177, member: 24544&quot;]In regards to the Mumps obverse coin, yes there are three different varieties if memory serves, they are s246, s247, and s248.&nbsp; Again, from memory they were all struck with the same obverse die, but each had a different reverse die, so the differences would be on the reverse.&nbsp; I can not open the picture at work, but feel free to check out the Holmes catalog online and see if you can attribute it:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54" rel="nofollow">http://images.goldbergauctions.com/php/toc_auc.php?site=1&amp;lang=1&amp;sale=54</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For the 1794&#039;s there are a lot of different varieties, maybe around 60.&nbsp; When I attribute the 1794s I break them down into 4 basic groups, head of 93, early head of 94, late head of 94, and lowest curl in a loop (these are my personal descriptions).&nbsp; The difference between the early head of 94 and the late head of 94 is the position of LIBERTY in regards to the head, is it high above the head or is it low and close to the head.&nbsp; The s48 (starrred reverse) is one of the late head of 94s as the LIBERTY is low and close to the head.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In terms of your specific coin, I would need a picture to do more as the exact spacing is important not just saying it&#039;s close.&nbsp; As I pointed out in a different thread of yours, all the letters of LIBERTY where individually punched on the 94s so there are small differences.&nbsp; But I encourage you to again look through the goldberg catalog and try to classify your 94 as either head of 93, head of 94, or lowest curl in a loop (s67-s71).&nbsp; Once you have determined those classifications you have significantly narrowed your search.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
