At least for the major varieties for the Capped Bust half series. Surprisingly, it took me the longest to find the curl base 2 with knob. Go figure!

That bottom one is the rare two-headed die marriage, I presume?

Sweet little set. Very nice examples.
Love them
Oops! Now corrected it, the O-119 does have a head and a tail.

I can stare at the second one and the last one for a while.
Very nice coins... love the O-119.
WTG, Erik! All five major varieties. Great choices.
Chief Engraver William Kneass was terribly conflicted over the shape of the number 2. And the size and shape of the 8. During 1828 he experimented with a curled base 2, straight, with a top knob, without, large and small 8. Thank heaven he ultimately settled down. From 1832 onward it was all curl base, knob 2 and small 8. Phew.
