Obverse 3: Small Date, 7 Points Between Two Denticles
Reverse A.3: Clashed Reverse, Die Alignment Right 5 Degrees

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: During its final die marriage, Obverse 3 is paired with Reverse A, which at this time clearly shows the heavy clash marks from the die clashing event with Large Date Obverse 1.
Reverse A exhibits strong die clash marks below the DIM(E) and across the ribbon and wreath stem. On the plate coin, the reverse die is rotated right by 5 degrees and brings more questions about die misalignment during the striking of 1837 dimes.
