BB-190, B-10 is what it looks like to me. wide date low 8.
I was not aware of BB-191 being used with anything other than the americai rev but I am using limited information.

The B190 uses the same obv as the 191,the rev for the 191 is the Americai type.The die flaw after the a in America is very faint,which is way it got slabbed a 190,but if you compare both reverses there is a differents.

Ok after a few pm's here is what the deal is. On this coin the postion of the arrows in relation to the letters in united does not match the reverse for bb-190.
The bb-191 or americai is supposed to be a engraving error so the i should be present on all coins struck using that die.
Anyone have more info?

numobri,

I would attribute your coin as BB-191 -- the combination of the "Wide Date/Low 8" obverse with the "Americai" reverse.

As you pointed out, both BB-190 and BB-191 share the same obverse die, but the reverses are different. The best diagnostics for comparison are the length of the lowest arrow and the arrangement of the rightmost stars.

Reverse of BB-191

The Americai reverse was also used on two die varieties -- BB191 and BB-192. On the BB-191, the final "I" in "Americai" is always more faint than on BB-192, and that can make it easy to overlook if someone rushes the attribution.
