Comments: Obverse 8 is paired with a heavily cracked reverse die. Please see the enhanced mapping of the Reverse I die cracks. Undoubtedly, this reverse die has seen previous usage by the mint. However I have not been able to identify any earlier die pairing where the cracking had begun to appear. The pairing of Obverse 8 and Reverse I was described in a 1984 issue of the Gobrecht Journal by John McCloskey from a Seated dime made available by Bill Carpenter.
