Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: The die scratches in the right armpit, upper arm and the date position provide the diagnostics for Obverse 6. The date position on Obverse 6 is similar to that of Obverse 19 with the date being slightly lower on Obverse 6. Use the die scratches to confirm the Obverse 6 die. There are no signs of obverse die doubling on Obverse 6. The 5 digit is closed.
