Obverse 4.2: High Level Date, Die Crack Through Date
Reverse E: Die Lines Behind A(MERI)CA, Clashed Die
Obverse 4.2 Reverse E
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 4 has developed a die crack starting at DR position 3 and proceeding through the base of the 1 and 8 digits, then looping under the 4 digit and through the base of the 3 digit. During this die state, Obverse 4 is paired with a second reverse die.
Reverse E exhibits die lines behind A(MERI)CA and a minor die line to the left of the foot of O(N)E. This reverse die also shows significant die flash around the bow loops. Reverse E is clashed, however Obverse 4 is found without clash marks.
