Hi! Things to look for on Type 4, 279b. The dots on the ear are always well defined. The horizontal lines to the left of the right numeral 2 seem to run together at their left side. The first "t" of Two Cents has been straightened somewhat from #267, which has fainter dots on the ear. All of your pictures are of #279b. ccndd Chris
