Date Position

Obverse 13 Misplaced Digits and Broken Top 2


Obverse 13 is identified by date placement at LE, bases of misplaced 1 digits between the first and second pearl, through the fourth pearl and through the fifth pearl; the bases of misplaced 8 digits between the truncation and ribbon end as well as between the ribbon end and the lower hair curl.  Obverse 13 was impressed  with a digit punch that exhibited a broken top 2 digit.

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

Comments:  Obverse 13 features at least three separate date impressions into the necklace.  The misplaced 1 digit through the fourth pearl and the misplaced 8 digit between the truncation and ribbon end represent one impression, while the misplaced 1 digit through the fifth pearl and misplaced 8 digit between the ribbon end and lower hair curl represent a second impression.
