Reverse D: Doubling at (O)NE and (D)IME
Obverse 5 Reverse D
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Both Ahwash and Greer listed this variety as a repunched 1. However after checking with John McCloskey, who supplied Kam Ahwash the A-4 plate coin, it was discovered that Kam Ahwash mistakenly recorded a piece of foreign material below the flag of the 1 in the date as repunching. I wish to thank John McCloskey for this confirmation of his plate coin. Therefore, moving forward, this variety will no longer be assigned a repunched 1 designation.
Obverse 5 diagnostics include a considerable amount of obverse radial die lines evident in the breast area. The (S)TATES is partial.
Doubling above (O)NE and (D)IME on Reverse D is readily visible. A diagonal die scratch from DIM(E) to the wreath is also present.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, PCGS MS64 CAC Green
