Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: The date punch is better centered on Obverse 2 than on Obverse 1 with a measurement of DR 1C. Several diagonal die lines appear to the right of the scroll end and shield into the adjacent gown fold. A longer die line is seen to the right of the upper shield within the gown lines. These die lines are highlighted above.

Short Flag 1 Variety 102 is difficult to locate in EF or better grades and more available in all grades than Variety 101 but not as common as Variety 103.
