Date Position

Misplaced 8 and 2 (Click Image To Enlarge)

Reverse Diagnostics

Artifacts Above The Denticles At 7:15

Obverse 12 is identified by date placement at RE and the tops of a misplaced 8 and 2 digit in the denticles below and to the left of the primary second 8 and 2 of the date.

Reverse K is identified by two die artifacts extending upward from the denticles at 7:15.

Comments: The Obverse 12 misplaced digits are prominent, though higher grade examples of Variety 9 are necessary to fully appreciate the misplaced 2 digit.
