Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 7 has a filled region below Liberty's chin with one bold "chin whisker" visible. A die defect is visible on Liberty's right knee. The date punch is level with Denticle Ruler measurement 0R.
After being paired with Obverse 6, Reverse F is matched with Obverse 7. The Reverse F die crack illustration from Variety 106 listing is used again (above) to highlight the reverse die cracks since the two plate coins in my collection have Reverse F die state as the same for Obverse 6 and 7 die pairings. Reverse F is next paired with an 1873 Open 3 Obverse 1 to strike more coinage.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF45
