Thinking I got the FS-401 (8 in denticles) on this recent purchase of a 1898 IHC.

This one certainly looks convincing to me. I have never been able to find any variety in the denticles. Congrats!!Bob Piazza

The photo over at NGC https://www.ngccoin.com/variety-plus...9-1909/815488/ looks very similar.
Another website to look over is this one:

The above site seems to lean on the FINDERS book rather than an FS numbering system. To each their own ! = )
It could very well be this one:

I will add that the investment I made in Rick Snows' recent version of Flying Eagle and Indian Cents was definitely worth the price. I use that at coin shows to help attribute the IHC varieties and good news is - it is available in PDF format.
I added that to the tablet and it is worth every cent. Outstanding photos. I will add that I purchased this when it first came out and it was a lot cheaper. I don't know what pricing is like now, and if there is a difference in PDF or book form. Rick is at

It shows pricing for all versions, direct from Rick Snow.

I wish I could claim a "good eye" when I got it. I was looking for an 1800s era red IHC and this was the only one I could afford with the money I brought to the local coin shop. It sat in my safe for a few months. Just recently I got out a few old boxes from the safe to look for anything worth sending off to get graded. The variety showed up as an odd glint under my grading lamp. Sometimes it's just pure luck.Comment
