<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bmmartin, post: 3549651, member: 98956&quot;]Sorry - I meant krause 915 with my coins.&nbsp; they used to be 512.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I will have further pictures later - I got distracted by the O... it looked tilted, then just started taking macro shots.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s like a combination of Canadian, Israeli, Indian, and British varieties, so why lump them all together?&nbsp; To me, this is more fascinating than some of the &quot;pointy 5&quot; or &quot;thick date&quot; varieties that are still recognized.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tilted &quot;O&quot; reminds me of some D in Dei Gratia error (blanking on the coin)</p><p>The &quot;V&quot; difference reminds me of the serif you find on Israeli large/small dates</p><p>Bead differences... Canadian dollars</p><p>Legend close to head (or crown) - Australia (I think?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Dates...&nbsp; 1903-D and 1891-D.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve checked PCGS for other dates and some of the photos for one date in the series clearly show the varieties here...&nbsp; plus the hair around the ears - one is like a solid curl and the other has multiple curls.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s a lot of other things that just stick out, neck truncation, lip open/separated, flat/arched eyebrows.&nbsp; I&#039;m assuming those are linked, but maybe they&#039;re not?</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh.&nbsp; and I forget which coin has which, but there&#039;s position A and B variations (edge lettering) on the two coins I have...&nbsp; So Belgian varieties....</p><p><br /></p><p>So potentially, that&#039;s 8 potential varieties (2x2x2 - curl / locks / position).... and they lump them?&nbsp; These aren&#039;t massive mintages either...&nbsp; That&#039;s why I&#039;m curious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why did they remove the designation.... laziness?&nbsp; You&#039;d figure this would be a gold mine, especially for PCGS.&nbsp; Once I take some good photos, I&#039;ll post.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just a warning - IMHO - These both should have been body bagged with a .92 instead of a .45.&nbsp; And then there&#039;s this recent surge of EDM/MF slabs...&nbsp; sorry I&#039;m on a PCGS rant now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Away from that tangent - Does anyone have the old 512.1, 512.2, 512.3, and 512.4 descriptions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again everyone!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]943233[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]943234[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]943235[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]943236[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
