Obverse 11 is identified by date placement at B and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south within the lower loop and base of the 9. Obverse 11 has developed moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines and has acquired clash marks between feathers 6, 7, 8 and 9 from a clashing event with Reverse K.

Reverse K is in a similar die state as Obverse 11, with the advancement of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines. Reverse K has acquired clash marks to the right of the denomination from a clashing event with Obverse 11.

Comments: The Obverse 11 artifact within the lower loop of the 9 is a segment of a die crack, though it strongly resembles an additional initial date impression.
