Obverse 30 Die Crack Mapping


Obverse 30 is identified by date placement at RH and date repunching that features an initial date impression to the northwest within the lower loop of the second 8.  Obverse 30 develops the following die cracks:
1.  Die crack from the denticles at 7:00 through the bases of the date to the denticles at 5:00.
2.  Die crack from the denticles at 7:00 connecting the tops of 'UNIT' of UNITED.

Reverse AD is rotated 5 degrees clockwise.

Comments:  Obverse 30 features a bold initial date impression only within the lower loop of the second 8, though examination reveals no additional initial date impressions elsewhere.
