Varieties 3 Kopecks 1949

There are three different varieties for the 3 Kopecks 1949 as well, this time all on the obverse side:

1. Obverse: low P, top of the ears of wheat far from rim. 

2. Obverse: equal P, top of the ears of wheat far from rim. 

3. Obverse: equal P, top of the ears of wheat almost touching rim:

Actually it's the third C that's moving.

I think you make it utterly and unnecessarily complicated. So you want to say that to differentiate this varieties you have to look whether the second and third C are equal in height or not?

Tell me how you can see that with the naked eye?

While where the end of the P is in relation to the C is easily to see with the naked eye:

Always choose for the most easy way to differentiate varieties!

That was not my intent at all. I was merely making an observation and suggesting the nomenclature Even C for

and High C for

both relative to the P is more accurate.  

They are all 3 easy to recognize. Here is the graphic.

Comments?

“… the distance to the rim of the star” is formulated a bit odd.

I would say: “… the distance from the rim to the star” or “… the distance between the rim and the star”.

Of course, here is a better version

Classification by Fedorin may be found e.g. here:

https://numar.ru/ussr/3-kopeiki/1949

There are 7 types for this year. If you make such table, it is better to use Fedorin catalogue numbers rather than type 1, 2, 3….

You can use automatic translation by Google Chrome to understand the difference.

Thanks for the tip, I personally think we should document the variants you can easily see and differentiate even on used coins? 

I'm mostly thinking about future swaps between “type” and “type/year/variant collectors”, since the type collectors don't have an any interest to assign their doubles into the proper variant lines. It takes time to do that.

I think the best way of creating catalogue on Numista for any issuer/time period is to reply a structure of the most used catalogue for such coins just to allow people to categorize their coins in a structure they used before coming to Numista. For the varieties of Soviet coins it it definitely Fedorin's catalogue (there is also a catalogue of Adrianov, but it is too specific).  

So, I don't think that inventing own classification by the criteria “easily see and differentiate even on used coins” is correct.

Possibly it is better to separate this discussion out of this thread to a special thread in “Numista coin  catalogue” part of forum?? @Jarcek ?

I agree to separate this topic.
