Comments: Examples of Variety 101 seem to always have a weakly struck obverse. The date is positioned very high with the 18 digits touching the base. Reverse A exhibits faint horizontal file lines in the upper half of the wreath. Both the obverse and reverse show faint clash marks, the reverse within DI(ME).
