1897
Variety 24
Obverse 26 is identified by date placement at C and the tops of
misplaced 97 digits in the denticles below and to the left of the
primary 97. Obverse 26 has developed moderately heavy to
heavy die flow lines.
Reverse Z is in a similar die state as Obverse 26, with the advancement
of moderately heavy to heavy die flow lines.
Comments: The
Obverse 26 misplaced digits are the product of an initial digit punch
impression that was far to the southwest with respect to the final date
position.
