1862 Variety 36






Obverse 38

Reverse AL



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position


Reverse Diagnostics



Partial Cud Between 1:45 and 2:30


Obverse 38 is observed with date placement at RH.

Reverse AL has developed a partial cud between 1:45 and 2:30.

Comments:  Based on the severity of the die cracking between 1:45 and 2:30, I anticipate a subsequent Reverse AL die state to yield a break in this area.  It should be noted that die cracking continues to the north and south from the partial cud section between 1:45 and 2:30, though a higher grade example will be necessary to illustrate the extent of these die cracks.

Variety 36 was identified by this author during mid July 2018.

Plate Coin:  Keith Bock Collection, VG8
