a question about bun dies.

[scott 144]

going through all my buns to sort them out, had little problems so far, that is until i came to my reverse D's 2 of which are obverse 4 which is easy to identify one is very worn but looks like 6+D however i am stumped on one more, which is either 2 or 3.. as these coins are worn, how do i distinguish with such minute changes. same with 1889 obverses.

and my second question, what are the raritys of all the pairings

You just can't, Scott, if they're too worn. Take 1889 for instance. You have to be able to see the leaves of the 4th group to see if one of them is missing or present. Otherwise they'll all be missing!
