Obverse 1 is identified by date placement at LH; misplaced 1 in the
denticles between the 1 and 8 of the date; repunched date with initial
date impressions to the south below the serif and base of the 1 as well
as to the northeast within the lower loop of the first 8.
Reverse A has yet to be observed with any die markers.
Comments: The
Proof 1 die pairing was one of three die pairs that struck proof cents
in 1888. The proof 1 die pairing will later be in service
striking business cents during the Variety
10 die pairing.
