Comments: Obverse 5 is a perfect die other than die chips above Stars 3 through 6. Use the date position as the primary diagnostic point.

Reverse F is also problem free with a centered Large O mintmark. The mintmark tilts eight degrees to the left. This is a fairly common die pairing variety and straightforward to locate.
