Variety 108
Obverse 8: Low Level Date, Repunched 0 Digit, Bases of 1 Thick
Reverse H: Perfect Die
Obverse 8 Reverse H
Obverse Diagnostic Points
Comments: Obverse 8 is easily identified by a date punch that is positioned low. There is obvious repunching under the bottom loop of the 0 digit. Faint die lines are seen behind the 0 digit in the date and between (OF A)MERICA and the rim.
Reverse H is perfect.
Examples from this obverse die are infrequently seen and have proven to be elusive in higher grades.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, PCGS MS64
