Comments: Obverse 4 is strongly clashed to the right side of Liberty. However, Reverse C does not show the corresponding clash marks. Further research is still needed to determine the reverse die paired with Obverse 4 during the die clashing event. Reverse C is in an early die state producing strong details in the wreath leaves.
