    Only one I've ever owned. Unfortunately, I sold it to a forum member many years ago. :|


    ...and that forum member has since sold it as well. :(

    The 1872-s V-3 is not only an MPD in the bottom of the skirt, but apparently an RPD as well (18 S).
    For awhile this was known as V-5, but the MPD is visible in Valentine's V-3 plate (left half of above photo array).

    I had a lot of fun creating an attribution guide for the 1872-s varieties (free downloadable PDF).

    Thanks for resurrecting this thread and sharing your varieties!

    1837 V-1 (RPD 1837 SS), or possibly V-2. (Pointed top 1)

    1837 V-5 rim cuds on right side (Flat top 1)

    1837 varieties

    Nice examples of the main varieties.

    Here is my 1849/6 H10C which was attributed as 1849/8 back in the day. This variety has had lots of changes and confusion in the past couple of years.

    I remember the threads here where we discussed the confusion created by the different ways TPGs described the different overdates, and how Tom DeLorey was able to get them to agree and solve the confusion!


    Here is my "one page" attribution guide, motivated by those discussions!
    Fortunately the 2 main overdates are easily identified from their reverse crack patterns.
    Yours is clearly the V-2 "9 / Far 6", because the crack through the right ribbon is easy to see.
