1878 Variety 6






Obverse 10

Reverse H



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position


Reverse Diagnostics



Die Cud Between 6:30 and 7:30


Obverse 10 date placement is undetermined.

Reverse H has developed a cud between 6:30 and 7:30.

Comments:  The Reverse H die break was initially identified in the book 'The Design Cud', by Paul Marvin and Arnold Margolis as a retained cud, with a reference number of 1C-1878-1R.  The above plate coin represents an incremental die state of Reverse H, with the retained portion of the break now absent and allowing metal to flow into the void left behind.

Barbara A. Kollar was extremely kind in allowing me to use her images to illustrate Variety 6 for this book.
