Obverse
Comments: Date position is C. There appears to be
two
misplaced 1 digits in the denticles to the left of the date.
The
digits are indistinct possibly due to die erosion that is beginning to
form near the denticles. The erosion is also observed at the
design edges, where the working die recesses and metal flows in during
earch strike. The discovery piece exhibited the same die wear
as
the plate coin pictured here. In addition, there is a die
crack
that extends from the first feather tip to 12:00.
Reverse
Comments: Reverse die crack at 9:30 that extends upward
through
the wreath and terminates within the last outside oak leaf.
Another die crack is observed at 11:30 that extends into the
top
left of the shield.
