Reverse F: Perfect Die

        

Obverse 6                                                 Reverse F

 

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: Obverse 6 is the last known repunched date obverse. The second 1 digit in the date is repunched down with residual traces of the prior digit visible above the right and left feet of the 1 digit. It appears from the minimum flash around the bow loops and knot that Reverse F is again paired with Obverse 6. The reverse on the plate coin shows faint die clashing behind DI(M)E, but is otherwise perfect.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, NGC MS63
