    I know this is an 1837 head of 1838, but have no information on the Newcomb variety.

    It looks different from any N-9, N-10, N-11 or N-12 I've seen photos of.
    Can any expert offer an attribution for this coin?

    It's a N-10.

    N-9 is always cracked from the point of bust to the ear.
    N-11 is always cracked from the rim through the first S in STATES to the wreath
    N-12 is repunched on the left side of the 8
    And finally this coin shows the rim breaks below the 37 between the date and star 13 and another one to the left of the date. These are seen on the late stage of N-10.

    This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call KNOWLEDGE.

    Thank you Conder. I'm surprised CoinFacts didn't have at least one late die state to show.
