Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

              

Comments: The date placement on Obverse 14 is very similar to that of the Obverse 3 and Reverse C die pair. This die pair was used to strike both proof and business specimens. Obverse 14 exhibits a repunched 2 with the repunching being most visible above the the base of the 2 digit. There are also a considerable number of faint die lines through Liberty's neck, breasts and mid section.
