Comments: As with most 1857 die varieties, the date position on Obverse 15 is the primary diagnostic point. The Obverse 15 date punch has a DR measurement of 1R and exhibits a slight upward slope. The typical date punch defect under the flag of the 1 digit is evident on the plate coin.

1857 Varieties 101, 102, 102a, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 109a, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115
