1864
Variety 102
Obverse 2: Proof Die, Medium Level Date
Reverse B: Proof Die, Die Defects On DI(M)E, Reverse Of 1863
Obverse 2 Reverse B
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Reverse B was previously employed during 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.
I believe that proof Variety 102 is the more difficult to locate than proof Variety 101.
