Comments: The top loop of a previously punched 6 is visible between the 8 and 6 digits in the date. The 6 digit in the date appears to be repunched on the left lower side of its vertical segment. Both A's in AMERICA are filled. The D in DIME shows a die defect on the right lower loop. Ahwash states that "Proofs and a few business strikes from this die". However, I have only seen business strikes from this die pair to date.
