The denticles below the date are again poorly struck. The reverse die has also cracked in this die state. A significant die crack is visible from the left wreath and left stem to the rim. Another die crack is seen from (U)NITED to the rim. Finally another die crack continues through both stem ends and the ribbon ends.
