Reverse A: Doubled Die above Oak Leaves

        

Obverse 13                                              Reverse A

 

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)                     Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: The date punch on Obverse 13 is positioned closer to the base than the denticles and is essentially level.

Reverse A exhibits strong die doubling above the oak leaves. Additional die doubling is evident on the outer left of the corn ear and above portions of the maple leaves in lower left wreath.

Further research is required to validate that Obverse 1 and Obverse 13 are indeed different dies given both a paired with Reverse A.
