Obverse 1 was used exclusively from 1770-73. Obverse 2 was used 1774 and 1775.

Peck says:

Obv 2 differs from Obv 1 in that the nose is straighter, the eye lashes are accentuated, the lips are thinner, and the chin is more receeding.

Why do you want the Peck numbers if you don't have a copy of the book?

I thought that but if you have no reference to look them up, what's the point in doing it?

We are frequently puzzled by the behaviour of young Master JMD. Let's just leave him peacefully to his own devices!
