1866-S
Variety 102
Obverse 1: High Date, Sharp Downward Slope, Vertical Die Crack
Reverse B: Small Thin S, [mm Lt,C], Die Doubling Lower Left Wreath
Obverse 1 Reverse B
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 1 is in the same die state as Variety 101, with the long vertical die crack through Liberty's body.
Reverse B exhibits a Small Thin S mintmark, which is positioned left. There is also some die doubling in the lower left wreath. Since this die pairing is very scarce, it is suspected that Reverse B could be another leftover die from a prior year. However, there is a lack of a diagnostic marker to make this association.
