[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 2671146, member: 10613"]no, this coin is most definitely seen from back. If you are confused you can even look at the plate coin. The term "seen from the back" is not literal, meaning you are not actually seeing the back. I have also attached the examples from Wildwinds note the differences between the first coin which is B4 and the second which is B3. there are several ways to differentiate the busts, pay particular attention to the right shoulder (left as you are looking). There are several more diagnostic points, but I am not going to list them all here, it should be sufficient to just look at the two different bust types and notice the diferences. I have also attached a seen from back bust with some highlighted areas to note Also in this case, seen from back types are much more common.
