Comments: Obverse 2 is found in an early die state without die cracking to the left of the rock and base. This variety has proven to be difficult to locate since all 1853-O dimes come with the date and arrows hub in the master hub die. Find an early die state of this variety requires close attention to the reverse die and mintmark placement.
