Obverse 6.2: Excessive Die Erosion, Broken Left Foot of 1
Reverse F.2: Shattered Reverse
Obverse 6.2 Reverse F.2
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: The obverse die continues to degrade with all details in the date and arrows area nearly effaced. Note the heavy presence of "orange peel" throughout the obverse fields. A die crack forms from Liberty's foot to Star 1 along with others.
Die cracks are present across the tops of most letters within Reverse F. Severe cracks are present at STA(TES) and (AME)RICA. AME(RICA) becomes weak due to die erosion.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF45
