1860-S
Variety 102
Obverse 2: Medium Level Date
Reverse B: Medium S, [mm C,L,TR2]
Obverse 2 Reverse B
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 2 can be easily diagnosed via the date position with date punched that is further left with DR measurement 0L. There are die chips around Stars 3 through 8.
The Medium mintmark on reverse B has a slight right tilt and appears to be positioned lower than on Reverse A.
I would recommend that the obverse date position be employed for separating Variety 101 and 102 examples.
