Comments: Ahwash indicates that both proofs and business strikes were struck with the Obverse 1 and Reverse 2 die pair. I have chosen to list the business strike variety however, I have not seen an example to date. Based on the proof description, there are three minor die defects on Obverse 1 that deserve noting. There is a defect in the upright of O(F), at the intersection of the triangle and the upright. Another defect is located on UNIT(E)D at the intersection of the upright and the right upper flag. Finally a die defect is located on AM(E)RICA at a point in between the upper flag and lower base of the letter. On Reverse A, a die defect is located on the bottom of the left diagonal of DI(M)E.
