Obverse 7.3 Reverse Z
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: 1853 With Arrows Variety 126 is a newly identified die pairing that encompasses the popular F-107 repunched date obverse that is now in a very late die state with all the repunching effaced other than under the 5 digit. This obverse is used through the F-107b die state where the reverse is shattered with a huge retained cud between 2:00 - 3:00.
On the discovery piece, the F-107 obverse is in a very late die state with die cracks throughout the stars and through Liberty's head. It is paired with a fresh reverse die that is perfect other than light die clashing.
The reverse die alignment is distinctive with a counter clockwise rotation of 30 degrees.
This new variety was identified by Gerry Fortin during the catalogging of a new GFRC consignment during March 2024.
