Obverse 6 is identified by date placement at RH and Class I hub
doubling that features clockwise rotation on all letters of the legend,
eye, beak, tail and denticles.
Reverse
F exhibits thin denticles on the lower half.
Comments: Obverse
6 was hubbed from a working hub that featured a missing tip on the
right wing. The missing tip of the wing was repaired on the
Obverse 6 working die, which now has the appearance of a broken wing
tip rather than a missing one.
