1875
Variety 2
Obverse 6 is observed with date placement at C.
Reverse D has developed a retained cud between 3:15 and 4:30. The following die crack is observed for obverse D:
1. Die crack from the rim at 2:15 to the retained cud.
Comments: The retained cud of variety 2 is similar in location to that of the reverse retained cud of the 1875 variety 1 die pairing.
Reverse
rotation of 5 degrees clockwise has been observed during photographic
editing. However, I will refrain from declaring an exact die
rotation until I can acquire an example to measure.
Variety 2
was first seen by this author through a coin listed for sale by Old
World Coin, who were gracious enough to allow me to use their images
for inclusion in this web book.
