Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the accented hair variety only exists in proof struck coins. By the way thanks for the info on the differences of the reverses. Many people (including myself) were probably not aware of these differences.

I only just saw this thread, but I was also under the impression that the AH variety is only on the proof coins.
