Comments: Obverse 2 has a noticeable die scratch on Liberty's right knee. There are die chips around Stars 3 through 6, then Stars 12 and 13. Take care in diagnosing Obverse 2 and Obverse 12. Both obverse dies have Denticle Ruler measurements of DR 0R and can be difficult to separate. Look for the die scratch on Liberty's right knee for Obverse 2 and the die scratch from left base to rim for Obverse 12.
