Variety 101
Obverse 1: Medium Date, Upward Slope
Reverse A: Medium S, [mm Rt,C,TR4]
Obverse 1 Reverse A
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: On Obverse 1, the date digits slope upward. A defect connects the ball of the 5 digit with the upright. There are die chips around Stars 3 through 6 and Stars 12 and 13. Within Liberty's gown folds, the obverse die shows minor rust damage.
On Reverse A, the Medium S mintmark tilts right 4 degrees. There is a faint die crack through the tops of STA(TES).
A challenging date overall due to low mintage and survival rate.
