Obverse 3 Reverse B

Comments: On Obverse 3, the final date is repunched north after the earlier date punch was positioned too low. An extra flag of the earlier 1 punch appears below the flag of the final 1 digit. The outline of the earlier lower loop of the 8 digit is seen below the final 8 digit. Repunching is seen below the base of the 4 digit. There are two visible die lines between the rim and the base. The first die line is found between the 4 and 9 digits. The second die line is seen to the right of the 9 digit.
Reverse B clearly shows a die crack from rim to AMERI(C)A and spurs on the bottom feet of AME(RI)CA.
