Comments: Strike weakness is common for Liberty's head and foot area. On Reverse A, weakness in the wreath and bow knot can also be expected. The Medium O mintmark on Reverse A is positioned well right and centered vertically, with a right tilt of 7 degrees. Traces of pitting, due to a rusted die, is seen within the bow loops, the knot and on the right ribbon end. There is additional die rust around the letters ST(ATES OF AME)RICA.
