Obverse 6 is identified by date placement at B and heavy die file marks
around the ear of Miss Liberty.
Reverse AAB has developed a heavy die crack form the rim at 9:15
through the outer edge of the wreath to the rim at 10:45.
Comments:
Obverse 6 was initially in service paired with Reverse F
during the Variety 5 Die
Pairing.
While
attributing the above plate coin, my initial impression was that the
coin was another example of Variety 5. However, the severity
of
the die crack from 9:15 to 10:45 and the absence of the remaining
diagnostic die cracks of Reverse F indicate a different reverse.
Variety
9 was first identifed by Craig McClain, who kindly submitted his coin
for attribution and inclusion in this web book during mid August 2015.
