Comments: During this die state for Variety 108b, Obverse 6 maintains its die cracks from Star 4 up through Liberty's head. Residual metal and a minor die crack is visible from the top of Liberty's head to Star 8. Reverse F has degraded further and exhibits a retained cud between the lower left wreath and the end of the left stem.
