Obverse 15: High Level Date, Die Scratches Into Right Elbow
Reverse Q: Perfect Die
Obverse 15 Reverse Q
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 15 can be identified by a well placed date punch and die scratches throughout the lower gown folds and into Liberty's right elbow. The die scratches below the right elbow should be easy to see on middle to high grade examples. There are additional die lines above and to the right of Liberty's foot.
Reverse Q is perfect.
