Comments:  Obverse 4, with a repunched 52, is initially paired with a reverse die exhibiting a weak legend. Reverse D can be identified by a die crack from rim to (A)MERICA and by a die defect behind DI(M)E along with weakness in the legend. To date, I have only seen one example of this die pairing.
