Columbian coin question

I've been looking for any information regarding the 1882 10 centavos from Columbia. There's a variety of it listed in Krause...does anyone know what the difference is between the normal piece and the variety? There's not a mintage for either piece in Krause - there's a value listed, but I've been trying to find an example on the internet as a comparison piece and cannot find one. Anyone know anything about this issue?

    It appears that according to Krause that this issue was struck in two silver contents. One at .8350 and one at .5000. How you would tell the difference, I have know idea. Good luck.

    Should have a difference in weight... just need to figure out which is the lighter and that would be the one with less silver in it...

    By the way that it's listed (0.835/0.500), I thought that maybe there was some sort of die repunching on it.
