1885 Variety 3






Obverse 7

Reverse G



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position

Cud Between 10:15 and 11:00


Obverse 7 is observed with date placement at B and develops a cud between 10:15 and 11:00.

Reverse G is not yet noted with any die markers.

Comments:  Reverse G will exhibit weakness of strike within the denticles at 7:00 due to the increased demand for metal to fill the void of the Obverse 7 die break.

Variety 3 was first identified by this author during late May 2017.

Plate coin:  Keith Bock Collection, VF30
