That's a complicated question - can you unpack it? -
how's about that then...

If you define "serious" as necessarily including all patterns...

No, it thinks @Mr T is at Saturday 11:40, not you!! Your computer, like mine, appears to be giving the right time.

Coincidentally, my father WAS a geneAlogist... -
Ah yes. Confusing that the same coin goes by two different names.

I don't think you could ID it if in low grade? The example would have to be near to EF in order to make out the Medusa head

That's not a Medusa, that's a "no colon" pattern.

No such thing as a geneologist! -
I can make no other comment than my iPad doesn't take crappy pictures at all, unless I've done something wrong like move or get too close or something similar.

Did you mean "a couple, generations back" or "a couple OF generations back".

Had to think about that one - then the penny dropped! (No, it wasn't an 1860 beaded/toothed mule). -
I'd give a few different examples to make the point: Major: H and KN - mint marks are clear and obvious Minor: the recut portait for large silver in 1920 - some authorities denied this existed, but after research the obverse has sufficient small differences to register as a variety Micro: the two reverses of 1937 penny, which hinge entirely on whether the horizon meets a tooth or a space.

add "+ O(Fillmore West)" before "= M" and you have your olive -
"Just out of interest Father Andrew had already addressed this issue, and he of course used the correct terminology, minor varieties. " Not sure of your point? Members here have used the term micro-varieties often enough that we all know what is meant. And I think you could in theory easily divide the world of varieties into 3 : major (e.g. H and KN), minor (e.g. 1953 obverses), and micro (e.g. the thickness of a worn 7). FWIW...

@AardHawk - thanks for posting that. I hadn't seen that follow-up article. I did see the original article - with pictures - on 1907 pennies. I remember they were all fairly worn coins and that I wasn't that impressed even back then. However an interesting letter by EB McKenzie which puts it all in context. Though it has to be said that the absence of those micro-varieties in all price guides does rather indicate the level of interest in them.

Wow. That's an AMAZING variety. Did the hand originally have 5 fingers? Is the 6th one re-engraved? The hologram effect of the hand appearing to move is just awesome. Is it yours? Would you consider selling?

Cleaned or not?

Certainly don't look obviously cleaned. -

That's gone the same way as the even earlier article pointing out many "varieties" of 1907 penny based on the tail of the 7! Now (deservedly) vanished without trace.
