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.

Plate Coin: Paul Bradley Collection, AU55
