1903 Variety 17





Obverse 16

Reverse Q



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position

Right Base of a Misplaced 1

Closeup of Misplaced 1


Obverse 16 is identified by the right side of the base of a 1 digit extending into the field below the truncation, with date placement at LH.  Obverse 16 is observed with light die flow lines.

Reverse Q is in a similar die state as Obverse 16, with light die flow lines.

Comments:  The anomaly under the truncation most certainly appears to be the right base of a 1 digit, but there is another unidentified artifact directly above the base of the misplaced 1.  The artifact is not as defined as the misplaced digit, so it is difficult to determine exactly what it is.
