Comments: Both the obverse and reverse dies are crudely cut. The faint New Orleans mintmark is directly below the left upright of (D)IME. The first plate coin exhibits a bulged reverse die, eliminating central device details. All seen have been in copper, with perhaps 3-4 seen total with only the above plate coin with the missing O mintmark.
