1859-O
Variety 103
Obverse 2: Medium Level Date, Open 5
Reverse B: Medium O, [mm Rt,L,TR3]
Obverse 2 Reverse B
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: The 5 digit is open due to weakness in the date punch. Obverse 2 comes with both a weak date (this variety) and a strong date (Variety 104) but there does not appear to be signs of die polishing to explain this weakness. Since I cannot make this determination, no separate die states are listed for the weak and strong date observations. There are die chips around Star 5 only.
