Early silver dollar question

Last month I ask the early dollar collectors for some help and many responded with very helpful comments and pictures. All very helpful and very much appreciated. I submitted a $1 1795 flowing hair, two leaf, small eagle to PCGS provided it crossed from NGC on a same grade basis. The coin dealer I use for submissions received a email from PCGS stating they did not agree with the variety assigned by NGC. I have not yet received Bowers book on the early dollars yet or have I have been able to find any information on the varieties for this coin. If anyone knows about the different varieties associated with this particular coin and the associated price differentials your input would be greatly appreciated. The only thing I have seen is the two leaf variety trades for a somewhat higher price than the three leaf. There is no variety data is in the PCGS or NGC price guide. Any and all responses would be helpful and appreciated.

Yes, as TDN says, use Coinfacts. And each of the die varieties presented, after clicking on "Show all related varities", is a hyper link that will take you to that particular variety.
pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/6853
From there click on "View all coin images" (toward the top of the page) and you can check out images for each die variety.
Pretty cool. And free, thanks to PCGS!
Lance.edit to add: To find variety prices in the price guide click on the "plus-box" and you'll get a drop down list. (But I think Coinfacts price listing makes this unnecessary.)

Lance Thanks for all your time and help. I am very impressed on how through and rapid your response was. Given it is a two leaves coin and PCGS will cross it I can respond to them. Now when I get the coin back my small collection will be 100% PCGS. Your assistance is noted and appreciated. Your help was the nicest thing anyone has done for me all day!
@oldgoldlover ...be sure to let us know how it goes with the crossover... and a picture would be great. Cheers, RickO
Ricko I will as soon as I get it back. I have also been able to get a 1798 40 CAC and a 1799 20. I am going to put more money in the tougher coins. I was offer a 1797 35 but the coins was so dull with some sort of patina I had to use a loop to see the date without good lighting. Details were nice but it was one of the ugliest dollars I have ever seen so it was a pass.
As of 3/23/17 I am still waiting for my Dollar. PCGS is very slow and I would imagine the more expensive the coin the quicker they move.
