Obverse 2: Medium Level Date, Clashed Die
Reverse B: Perfect Die

Obverse 2 Reverse B
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 2 shows strong clash marks to the immediate left of Liberty's left arm. Obverse 2 has a similar date placement with Obverse 7 but is slightly more right on Obverse 2. Interestingly, the reverse die is not clashed, suggesting additional die pairings need to be uncovered for Obverse 2.
Take care in attempting to diagnose Obverse 2 and Obverse 7 dies as the author assume that both dies were one and same for a number of years until Tim Cook provided a heavily clashed F-107 example which revealed different clash mark locations than F-102.
