Obverse 6: Die Erosion, Broken Left Base of 1, Open 54
Reverse F: Die Crack (ST)A(TES) (AMERI)CA
Obverse 6 Reverse F
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 6 exhibits die erosion across the lower 50% of the die including Stars 1 to 3, the date and arrow and Stars 10 to 13. I have seen a dealer label the erosion on this particular die as "orange peel". The left foot of the 1 is broken and nearly effaced.
Reverse F also exhibits erosion between the rim and AMERICA. There are die cracks at the tops of (ST)A(TES) and (AMERI)CA.
