If you got em show em, and let us know the variety if known.
(Taken from the Notre Dame Univeristy Coin Collection Site)
According to Kessler there are at least fifty-five varieties from twenty-four obverse dies and thirty-three reverse dies. These varieties are categorized into three different groups based on the style of the rays emanating from the sun. One group has the standard fine or pointed ray, these are considered to be the best executed coins of the series and are attributed to dies of Abel Buell of Jarvis and Company. James Spilman has suggested the other varieties, with club shaped rays were inferior in quality and produced later. The Club ray is found in two types, there is one group with a round or convex end on the ray and a rarer group with an indented concave shape to the end of the ray.
This was the only coin I "had" to have in my collection starting out. So I jumped at the chance on the first on offered at the money I could afford.
This is shot though a scuffed up ANACS holder; Details graded VF-30 for corrosion. The variety is K(essler)-13R or N(ewman)-13R listed as an R-6 on the old but still viewable coin facts site.
As always comments and quesitons are welcome.

<< <i>Here is mine. I believe it is Newman 8b?
Yes. Also note that the holder label is wrong. Yours is a UNITED STATES, not STATES UNITED.
