The attribution guide I mentioned for the 1834 cents can be found here. The title says 1824 but that was because the original poster got the date wrong. I believe I also included N-5 in the wrong group in my last post. It is correct in the attribution thread.

On 1839 there are five different head types.

Head of 1838 (Beaded hair cords, no prominent curl where forehead and hair meet. N-2, N-3)

Petite Head (head of 1840, head tipped forward with point of bust over 8. N-8)

The Silly Head (prominent curl, bottom right point of bust does not extent past wave of hair. N-4, 9)

The Booby head ( Same as Silly but point of bust does extend through wave of hair. N-5, 6, 7, 11 - 15)

And the head of 1836, N-1

The first four already have dedicated holes in the Dansco. So for the fifth hole you have to decide if you want to duplicate one of the previous ones or go for the head of 1836. Now the head of 1836 is also the 1839/6 overdate, a fairly tough and somewhat costly coin. If you decide to duplicate then I would not duplicate the petite head, it only comes on one variety. With the other three you can have a duplicate type but a still have a different die variety.
