Date Position


Reverse Diagnostics



Cud between 11:30 and 12:30


Obverse 29 is observed with date placement at C, with  a slight upward sloped date.  Obverse 29 has developed moderately heavy die flow lines.

Reverse AD has developed a small cud between 11:30 and 12:30.  Reverse AD is in a similar die state as Obverse 29, with the advancement of moderately heavy die flow lines.

Comments:  The Reverse AD break is correctly termed a cud rather than a rim break due to the Reverse AD break including a small portion of the field as well as the rim.

Variety 26 was first identified by this author during early February 2017.
