<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 8207379, member: 19250&quot;]1890 variety # 5 misplaced date in denticles&nbsp; or # 8 rpd. As your images are not clear enough to determine between the two varieties. I lean towards the #8 but do see traces of the 89 in the denticles. </p><p><a href="http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety005.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety005.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety005.html</a></p><p><a href="http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety008.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety008.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.indiancentvarieties.com/1890_variety008.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Clash marks as well as die cracks can and cannot be used&nbsp; 100% as markers!</p><p>Clashes and die cracks may or may not be present to determine the variety or vam.
