Some classic FE/IH variety images

shylock

The Fly-In Club's website recently added their census for the top 45 varieties. One of the perks of having this online is the ability to link examples, and forum member Lakesammman went beyond the call of duty on this. His collection/photography skills provided some close-ups I've never seen the likes of before. Especially the 1858/7 S1 & S7 -- his micro close-ups of the date numerals make these subtle varieties easy to identify. It's a page to bookmark for anyone with even a casual interest in cherrypicking these. Of course, a measly $20 yearly donation to the club (linked below) as an active member would help ensure future shared information like this!

So far 20 of the 45 have been imaged. Any high quality jpegs of the remaining 25 would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to reduce even the largest images to a managable size for dial-up visitors. If you have problems downloading any pleae let me know.

Great photos and really timely for me having had the good fortune to view all of these types and varieties a couple of weeks ago.

Damn that stuff is cool! I especially like the 1880 S1 Doubled Die Obverse/Clashed Reverse. Two in one, and the die clash ain't no hard to see wimpy little thing either!

Nice, it's bookmarked, I just love that reference material.

BTW I just bought my first proof IHC, an 1881 65RB.

The 1880 S1 is one of the coolest and most sought after IHC varieties - it is a fantastic variety! IMO

Help, please?

Does anybody have any information about the 1889 DDR? I've been trying to locate information concerning this coin - no luck so far?

If you have a nice speciman of the varieties that we are missing, Shylock or I would be happy to photograph for you. Just PM one or the other and we can work out the arrangements.
