Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: Obverse 8 shows significant weakness at the lower base and at (OF AMERICA). The bold date punch is a strong contrast with the weakness of the obverse devices. The date punch is positioned high with the appearance of a slight upward slope.

Reverse G is perfect.
