 Obverse 3.2: Die Scratches Below Date, High Level Date, Open 5

Reverse D: Rim Cud at 4:00, Die Line Below Bow Knot

        

Obverse 3.2                                           Reverse D

 

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

        

Comments: Obverse 3 shows incremental wear. The die has developed die scratches between 851 in the date and the denticles directly below those digits.

Reverse D can be identified by one significant die line directly below the bow knot and by a prominent rim cud at 4:00. The die pairing of Obverse 3 and Reverse D is rare and should command a reasonable premium.
