NewP Blacksmith Token Wood 14 arrives, and a Discovery Piece!!

Fresh from Canada my second Blacksmith Token (Copper) arrived and I set to attributing it using the drawings and photo files. Pegging it at Wood 14 was easy, it's brass and the back of the base of the head is more deeply shaped than other related varieties. One on the recent findings is that there are different reverse dies with this obverse, five recorded that show different lengths of the reverse figures left outstretched arm. However, try as I might no other arm and shoulder looked quite like this one, many slender and ladylike instead of the short triangular one on my coin. SO......
. I sent images to the main authority on these and in his words "it's a New die variety for sure". Isn't that sweet!

Congrats on a discovery.
Expanding our knowledge in numismatics right here
Threads like this are infectious.
I knew it would happen.
But...I need some help here. You referred to the back of the base of the head. Where should I look, or should I just use my imagination?
