Comments: Obverse 12 is paired with a second reverse die which cannot be matched to any previously listed reverse dies for the 1872 date. The date position and the top of an 8 digit bisecting the lower right scroll end are the primary diagnostic for Obverse 12.

Reverse N exhibits die cracks on the left and right sides of the agricultural wreath. The left side die cracks are quite severe between 9:00 and 10:00 with a potential die cud forming soon if the dies strikes more coinage.

Sean Shaughnessy first published this variety on July 10, 2011 on the Liberty Seated Collector Club message board.
