1865 Reverse A



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position


Obverse 1 is observed with date placement at B.

Reverse A has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments:  The proof 1 die pairing struck all proof cents in 1866.  1865 reverse A of this die pairing was initially in service striking proof cents in 1865 during the 1865 proof 1 die pairing.

Rick Snow of Eage Eye Rare Coins was very kind in allowing me to use his images to illustrate the proof 1 die pairing for this web book.
