Obverse 17 is identified by date placement at RH and the tops of two
misplaced digits in the denticles located between the primary 9 and
final 8 as well as below the primary final 8 of the date.
Obverse 17 has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow
lines.
Reverse
R is rotated 5 degrees clockwise and is in a similar die state as
Obverse 17, with the advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow
lines.
Comments: The
Obverse 17 misplaced digit located in the denticles between the primary
9 and final 8 of the date was previously unidentified prior to
publication in this book. It is much less conspicuous than
the accompanying misplaced digit below the final 8 of the date and does
not appear to be associated with the misplaced digit punch impression
that created the misplaced digit below the final 8.
Therefore, Obverse 17 may have received more than one digit
punch impression into the denticles. In addition to the
previous statement, it should be noted that there appears to be two
separate impressions of the misplaced digit below the final 8 of the
date.
