Obverse 4 is identified by date placement at LE and the tops of two misplaced digits among the denticles below and to the right of the primary 8 digit of the date. Obverse 4 is observed with digit punch artifact above the base of the 2 digit.

Reverse D has developed a rim break at 11:45 as well as rim breakage between 2:00 and 5:15.

Comments: The Obverse 4 misplaced digits are blurry and indistinct due to an attempt to remove them from the working die by abrading that area.
