Just seen your thread , don't know anything about the variety , but a beautiful coin in its own riight , the model of Victorias head is way nicer than the 1899 version .

it probably is the 457.12 rusty although if toad sees a berry then we dont know. we on for tuesday?

 

Here is what I see:

 

Ps: It could be a berry stem without a berry?

This image shows the small berry on left of O. This will make it a 35 berries reverse (20 berries on left and 15 on right).

Probably the TPG counted these 35 berries and assigned it KM 457.10 as this is the only KM number which has 35 berries. They didn't checked the obverse which has to be an "Indian Head" for 457.10

So, with the Obverse type G and reverse type VIII, this variety is not listed in KM but is listed in Pridmore as #44 (A little scarer coin then 457.10)

I have circled the berry on your image which will make it a Type VIII reverse.
