Obverse Diagnostic Point

              

Comments: The date positions and slopes on Obverse 3 and 4 are similar. The important diagnostic for Obverse 4 confirmation is a die scratch in the lower shield through shield lines 3 and 4. Obverse 4 also has a date punch that is positioned slightly lower from the base than Obverse 3. Reverse D is lightly clashed.
