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

        

Comments: Reverse A exhibits significant die erosion during a later die state. Heavy metal flow lines can be found throughout the lower wreath, in particular in between the lower right wreath leaves and DI(ME). Repunching on the 3 digit is no longer evident on Obverse 1. However, the polished drapery remains as the diagnostic marker.
