For some reason I cant see the pics Guyincog posted, but here are my two 1879 obverses. The difference in leaf veins, nostrils and re-engraved hair above the ear are obvious I think. I really wouldn't want to be definite from the photos, but it should be easy to tell with the coin in hand. The hair above the ear in Hussolo's photos does suggest to me it might have been re-engraved though? Jerry

Difficult to tell because it's such a poor photo, but I'm leaning more towards obverse 9, rather than 8. From Freeman's description, the groove representing the nostril on obverse 9, does not curve down towards the cheek as much as previously, and that seems to be the case with yours, as far as I can tell. Although to be really sure, you'd need to jailbreak from the slab and take a better pic. Can't be definite.1 point
