Die Cud Between 9:45 and 11:00

Obverse 4 date placement is LE.  Obverse 4 is observed with numerous rim breaks.

Reverse D was struck from a misaligned working die and has developed a cud between 9:45 and 11:00.

Comments:  The reverse D die cud is very similar in location and size to the 1857 Snow 10 reverse die cud.
