Date Placement

Die File Marks

Comments: Date placement is RH, with a slight downward slope of the date. Obverse 7 is the second obverse of the 1864 copper nickel composition to exhibit die file marks by the ear of Miss Liberty. The file marks are very similar to those found on obverse 6 of variety 5.

Reverse G has yet to be observed with any die markers, other than the shield points and olive leaf being away from the denticles.
