<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2231385, member: 19250&quot;]Today&#039;s show find 1869 Shield Nickel with the Wide Date Variety and the Reverse hub IIc. Obv. Hub &quot;B&quot;</p><p>Missing one serif on the&quot; E &quot; in United as well as a broken D, Broken S in States as well as Star to left foot of the&quot; A &quot; also in States.Star point to left foot of &quot;F,&quot; Broken &quot;R &quot; in America. Those pick up point determine it&#039;s an Reverse Hub &quot;B&quot;coin.</p><p>This coin can have the obverse hub of &quot; A &quot; or &quot; B.&quot;&nbsp; So how do you determine is it a Obv. hub &quot;A&quot; or a Obv. Hub &quot;B&quot; ?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a simple process.... The Obv. Master hub &quot;A&quot; was produced with the outer leaf of the Right second cluster of leaves with the outer leaf missing.{ AKA &quot;the Missing Leaf Variety.&quot;} I have posted a 1869 before missing the leaf. And will re post that image lastly to ID. So when they discovered the master hub didn&#039;t have that second cluster last leaf they had to re engrave the master hub. These nickels can be seen with the outer leaf in many forms, shapes,and sizes. Now one must remember that on the missing leaf variety the leaf clusters on the right side are in clusters of 3/3/4/3. {Three leaves-Three leaves- Four leaves- Three Leaves.}</p><p><br /></p><p>The normal is clusters of 3/4/4/3.&nbsp; So Obv. Hub &quot; A &quot; has a missing leaf on the second right hand side cluster of</p><p>leaves or an re engraved leaf that can be of various sizes and shapes. Obv. Hub &quot;B&quot; has the second clusters engraved correctly into the master hub. So the cluster looks natural not touched up. This coin is an Obv. Hub &quot;B&quot; and the Rev. Hub IIc. I have added arrows to the areas in question so you can ID. the parts. So here&#039;s the newbie.....Notice the last two images one is missing the outer leaf, the other it&#039;s there but kind of added on after the fact. The outer leaf is short not tapered as the leaf tips should be.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]438655[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438656[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438657[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438661[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]438662[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
