Obverse 15 is identified by repunching on the 1868 to the southwest and 68 to the northeast, with date sloping downward and placement at RH. Obverse 15 exhibits clash marks between the last five feathers and develops the following die crack:
1. Die crack from the right foot of I of UNITED connecting the tops of TED of UNITED.

Reverse O is identified by large hub through from the right wreath entering the vertical shield lines. The hub through is seen again connecting the O of ONE and E of CENT. Reverse O exhibits clash marks to the right of the denomination.

Comments: The hub through of Reverse O is very similar to the hub through of Reverse AH of 1865 Fancy 5 Variety 18 .
