Comments: Reverse B was previously used in 1863. There are several die defects on Reverse B that deserve discussion. A defect is found under the base of ON(E). There is a diagonal defect on the lower third of D(I)ME. Finally, a die defect is visible on the left diagonal of DI(M)E. Both Obverse 2 and Reverse B are clashed at this point in their pairing.
