Reverse identification

6 posts • viewed 237 times

I have this coin:

 

N#4519

 

It's 2001, but I'm not sure which reverse … The page mentions “plumeria” shaped stars and “sharp” pointed stars. But I'm not sure what those terms mean, or which “stars” the description is referring to.  

 

 

Not sure if these images are good enough to tell, but it's the best magnification I can get for now

A Plumeria is a flower 

I believe this is what the different stars are referring to.

However it's still not clear on the page itself what the different between them are.

That was my assumption as well. But I'm not sure how safe that assumption is.  And even if it turns out to be a correct assumption, there's still the issue of not knowing what the two varieties look like compared to each other.

I havn't really been able to narrow it down myself, and likely it probably doesn't matter which version it is. Personally if I couldn't identify which one it is, I would just add it to the common one.

Personally, I disregard minor detail differences such as these and do not consider them major varieties where they may add value or add to the coins desirability as a collector piece. A personal preference of course but sometimes I question the need to note such minor differences. Yes, they are in fact there and maybe interesting but Is that specific detail important to collectors of that type? More often than not, no.
