How do you tell the difference between a Type 1 and Type 2 trade dollar?

Thanks to shirohniichan for posting the pics of the Rev. But does anyone have pics of the dignostics of a T1 and T2 obv?

This is a scan of a genuine type 1 reverse. A genuine type 1 reverse has neck feathers that separate from the shoulder feathers and a berry between the eagle's left talons (viewer's right).

Here is a genuine type 2 reverse. A genuine type 2 reverse doesn't have the berry between the eagle's talons on the right side of the coin, and the neck feathers blend with the shoulder feathers.

Here is the coin in question I was told by a few people that it's a type one obv and a type two rev but it has the berry on the rev so it's got to be a type one but i still don't know how to tell the difference on the obv. If it matters the date is 1876-CC
