Comments: Reverse E degrades with usage and when seen in higher circulated grades, has reverse rims that are usually weak along with the legend. A significant die crack is typically seen from rim through STAT(E)S down into the denomination.

Obverse 3 shows considerable die wear around stars and date. Weak strikes are common with the shield, head and foot being the weakest areas.
