1862 Variety 4











Possible multiple misplaced 1 digits


30 degree clockwise reverse die rotation




Comments:  Date placement is C.  Two protrusions from the denticles below and to the left of the date are possible multiple misplaced 1 digits.  Reverse die rotation of 30 degrees clockwise has been noted on every example I have seen.  The rotation does not appear to be dynamic in nature, so all examples could have 30 degree rotation.  Reverse die stage B develops a vertical die crack from 1:00 to the right wreath.


Plate Coin:  D. Poliquin collection, PCGS MS63
