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

        

Comments: Both Obverse 3 and Reverse D show excessive wear and significant die cracks during this late die state. A connecting die crack passes through all the stars on the obverse. Reverse D exhibits a die crack from the rim to (U)NITED and another from the rim to the right stem.

During this late die state, Reverse D will be subsequently paired with Obverse 1 to produce a rare die marriage variety for 1839 New Orleans Seated Dime coinage. 

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, MS64 - Ex. Lemus
