1863 Variety 51






Obverse 49

Reverse AAA



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position

Reverse Diagnostics



Cud Between 1:15 and 3:00


Obverse 49 is observed with date placement at LE.

Reverse AAA develops a cud between 1:15 and 3:00.

Comments:  Variety 51 was first brought to my attention by the above plate coin listed for sale by Mr. Dana Horowitz of Moondogy Enterprises.  Mr. Horowitz was extremely kind in allowing me to use his images to illustrate variety 51 for this book.

Obverse 49 will exhibit weakness in 'ERI' of AMERICA during this die state due to the additional demand for metal to fill the void left by the reverse AAA die break.
