Comments:
Date placement is C. Rick Snow indicates that the E
of
STATES has been broken and repaired on this obverse. However,
I have personally seen 4 examples of this die marriage and
the
anomaly the E has is a notch at the top right and this is not
consistent with what is usually seen on other obverse working dies
hubbed from the working hub with a broken E. Die stage B is
observed with a die crack from the tip of
the bust to the rim at 7:30.
The
reverse shows class V pivot hub doubling with counterclockwise rotation
and a
pivot point at 11:00. There is a small die crack from the rim
at
3:00 to the oak wreath, where it terminates at 3:30 on the outside oak
leaf.
