Here's one more, sent to me by a fellow collector--thanks!
This one's fairly obvious, although in better examples the left point of the 1 can be seen crossing over the top curl of the 2.

Kurt, that is another nice one! I like the older coins, for that reason, they made mistakes, and were able to correct them, and allow the remnants to be seen many, many years later. the modern coinage sure leaves the collector "wishing"!

Dick, agreed--I think the 19C. was the classic era for die varieties. There was a mix of machine technology and hand work that made die varieties on a human scale.
