Opinions For This 2 Cent Washington

Hello stallzer, I was referring to my link higher up on the thread:

There are other areas that distinguish them:

Here's the link to area 6:

That link (toga button) is a quick way to identify them, but it isn't definitive.

The best way to identify a Type II is that it only exists on rotary prints. I.E. 454, 487, 491, and 539. Clark pointed that out. I had not noticed it before.

I think that your confusion may be because the Ia and II are distinguished by flat vs. rotary printing. 1847.com doesn't explicitly make that distinction to be obvious in my first link to Gar nor in the link that disi posted.

A flowchart with links to each step would make it clearer. 1847.com isn't perfect, but it's the best resource that I have found so far.
