1877-CC Seated Dime - Type 1 & 2

I was looking through an advertisement which indicated a Type 1 and Type 2 for the 1877-CC dime.

This is the first I've heard and seen of this dime. Does anyone know the difference between the two? I can't imagine it being that big, or easy to detect.

I have such a dime graded NGC MS-63 so that sparked my curiosity.

Maybe it's the mintmark below/mintmark above wreath difference, as on the 1875-CC coins?

That's just a WAG. I'm clueless.

Per Breen a second reverse hub was used from 1876-1891 type 2 refers to this second hub. The E in one is farther from the wreath on the type 2 reverse.
