I just acquired a new coin form Haiti that does not appear in the catalog. It’s a 2 centimes from 1846 km27. The page for this coin lists two varieties, wide leave with a straight cap and thin leaves with a cap draped to the right. But my coin is thin leaves with a cap draped to the left. I found another example of the coin I have on another site. The page on numista says that’s the coin is verified, so either this variety is missing or I have misidentified it. Could this coin be reviewed and the page updated if needed?
I've seen several variation. What is the weight and diameter? Krause has 26mm for KM# 26 and 24mm for KM# 27.
(Numista has those two types as both 26mm. One is 1mm thick, the other is 1.9mm thick, but they have the same weight. Something is wrong with the Numista listings.)
So, please show me a cap leaning right? Quite often variant descriptions in text are not expressing the variaty very precisely. What I have shown to you are definitely two DIFFERENT varieties from the same year?
I've decided NOT to try to bring the two togeteher, because this about two variants in km27.1 (I had overseen that again Numista had joined two original km#).
And This I will let be to show the differences between km27. and km27.2
I think we better take a step back and figure out which coin we're comparing to which coin. The data and pictures for km26 and km27.1/27.2 in SCWC and Numista are:
km26
SCWC - 26mm reverse - no dot or star next to AN 43, nothing in between AN and 43, hat left
Numista - 26mm, 5g reverse - 2 stars next to AN 43, dot in between AN and 43, hat right
KM27.1
SCWC - 24mm (24.0-24.6) 4.8-5.6g reverse - star to the right and dot to the left of AN 43, nothing in between, hat straight
Numista - 26mm, 4.9g reverse star to the right and dot to the left of AN 43, nothing in between, hat straight
km27.2
SCWC - 24mm, 5.0-5.1g no picture
Numista - 26mm, 4.9g no picture (hat right in comments)
OP's coin
1 inch (25.4mm), 5.18g, reverse - no dot or star next to AN 43, nothing in between AN and 43, hat left
I think the OP's coin is km26, not km27.1/27.2 and both Numista pages need cleaning up.
I've redone the two graphics, please give me your comments. If I had been SCWC I would have made a km26.1 (the km26 of now), a km26.2 (the km27.1 of today) and the km26.3 (the km27.2 of this afternoon). Since I'm only me, we just leave them as is, hoping my graphics are clear?
In principle I agree with the graphics, however I don't trust that the Numista pages have correct pictures and that the one from ebay is really a 27.2. I think publishing these graphics may propagate erroneous data. I'm not sure at this point how to verify which is which but I think the Numista pages need to be cleaned up first, if possible. Maybe the diameter is enough to first separate km26 from km27.1/27.2? Which is correct, SCWC or Numista?

Always SCWC, since Numista is just a copy/paste to start with and now it's a mess.
This is what NGC considers a KM# 26. It matches the OP's coin and contradicts the picture on the Numista km26 page. Maybe the picture on the Numista page is really km27.2? It matches the coin on ebay listed as a km27.2.
According to SCWC this would correspond to km26 and km27.1, on the other hand the km27.2 is not "corresponding" 100%, but since it's so different from the 2 others it's got my vote for the km27.2 ALLTHOUGH I think I would have paired them off as 3 distinct km#. If not i would have grouped them differently. The km27.2 as km26 since so different from the two others! The the km27 group would be the km27.1 as is and the former km26 as km27.2.
I think you got the 3 coin pictures attached to the 3 km numbers correctly. Numista km26 picture is really km27.2 and should be moved to the comments on that page. The pictures on the Numista km26 page need to be replaced. The diameter on the Numista km27 page needs to be changed to 24mm.
SCWC grouped them by diameters. 26mm for km26 and 24mm for km27.1/27.2 which makes sense. The differences between km27.1 and 27.2 they considered minor enough not to warrant a new number.
The numbers imply 2 sets: KM# 24, # 26, and # 28 and #25, #27, #29.
Kahnt/Schön have two explicit sets: 1, 2, 6 1/4 centimes for Loius Pierrot, 1845-1846 and 1, 2, 6 centimes for Jean Baptiste Riche, 1846-1847. But the picture they use for the Loius Pierrot 1 Centime seem to me like it would fit better as a Jean Baptiste Riche after comparing the 6 1/4 and 6 images (dot and star around the date).
Quote: "bjherbison"It might be useful to look at the two series for 1846.
Centime: KM# 24 and # 25
2 Centimes: KM# 26 and # 27
6 Centimes: KM# 28
6 1/4 Centimes: KM# 29
The numbers imply 2 sets: KM# 24, # 26, and # 28 and #25, #27, #29.

Good point and I don't think we can trust the Numista pages for the other 2 set either.
It was as usual a badly executed copy / paste from SCWC, which has been as right as it can be since before numista was born. As usual I'll go for SCWC every time (also for the country names!!!)
If this graphic will be used in the km26 and the km27.n, then we obviously can forget these two?
Quote: "rsirian1"Yes, only the top graphic is needed. For the km27.2, the only thing that is "According to SCWC" is the diameter since there's no pictures in SCWC.
Also, what happened to the bottom year in the top 2?
Use look at the image from the 1 centime coin, km25.2, and you'll be .
Don't you think it would be good to split the km27 into to separate pages, because of the diameters and weights? I just tried to have a look in numismaster, but no image found of the 27.2 either.
