Look closely at the reverses of all those varieties. Do you notice something different about the <b>Booby Head </b>varieties? It&#039;s one of the few ways to tell a genuine <b>Booby Head </b>from a counterfeit one:</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><font size="3"><a href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinfacts.com/large_cents/matron_head_large_cents/1839_large_cents/1839_large_cent_varieties.htm</a></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><font size="3">&nbsp;</font></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><font size="3">Did you notice there&#039;s no line below the word &quot;cents&quot; on a genuine <b>Booby Head</b>?
