Obverse & Reverse Type Explanation
Hub Types
1875-1876: A hodgepodge of different combinations. The only combo NOT represented is a type 2 obverse paired with a type 1 obverse.
1877-1878: Only combination was type 2 obverse and type 2 reverse.
Type 1 Obverse:
The type one obverse is most easily identified by the flag pointing to the left and three fingers on Liberty’s outstretched hand.
The type two obverse is most easily identified by the flag pointing down and four fingers on Liberty’s outstretched hand.
Type 1 Reverse:
The type one reverse is most easily identified by a berry under the eagle’s right (facing) claw. Also, the eagle’s neck feathers are raised from the shoulder and the bottommost arrowhead is pointing between the 2 and 0.
Type 2 Reverse:
The type two reverse is most easily identified by the absence of a berry under the eagle’s right (facing) claw. Also, the eagle’s neck feathers are smoothly blended into the shoulder and the bottommost arrowhead is pointing above the 2.
