What Newcomb # is this Big Copper?

[snizzard]

Just dug this one up. Old town site.

This coin has a lot of varieties called Newcombs #(1-12)
Minor differences in the front or back.
Can anybody tell me what Newcomb# this is?

Of the 12 varieties, your coin appears to be a Newcomb 2

N#2 is scarce, what does that mean, & how do I know its N#2?
