Comments: Variety 2 was
first brought to my attention by the above plate coin listed within the
inventory of David Kahn Rare Coins. This coin was part of the
Westmoreland Collection of One Cent Errors, where this die
variety was first identified by the owner of that collection. David Kahn of David Kahn Rare
Coins
was gracious in allowing me to use his images to illustrate variety 2
for this book.
