Obverse 8.2 Reverse J.2
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Reverse Die Cracks During Later Die State
Comments: Reverse J.2 develops a group of die crack on the left side of the wreath that exits to the rim at 9:00 and 10:00. These die cracks have the potential to become a retained cud if further die degradation occurs. To date, no 1861 dime has been reported with a reverse cud.
