[QUOTE="KurtS, post: 2098541, member: 11786"]New pictures of this variety I picked off ebay. I don't have many coins with varieties on both sides, so this one is interesting! It's a dark brown, so capturing details is a little tricky. [IMG]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8571/16541834998_749f586425_b.jpg[/IMG] This was shot with a lighting technique to resolve the MPDs--but it also picks out all the dings and scratches on any circulated coin. I think that's "84" in the denticles. As for the little nub (white arrow), I can only guess it's a die chip, as no MPD in the bust is documented for this coin. [IMG]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8570/16724631102_c3dc6f53ed_b.jpg[/IMG] Here's the "star in shield". I have included an inset of the area in MS for comparison. Obviously, this variety is much better in higher grades. [IMG]https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8654/16729242455_7118663282_c.jpg[/IMG] More pics in MS [URL='http://indianvarieties.com/cents/1884-indian-head-penny/1884-odd-001/#prettyPhoto']here[/URL].[/QUOTE]
