Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: Reverse B has progressed to a later die state. Circular die cracks have developed as illustrated above. The spur on the middle bar of the E in ONE is still visible. Reverse B continues to degrade and will be paired with a Closed 3 obverse die to produce more coinage. See 1873 Closed 3 Variety 108 for the next Reverse B die pairing.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF45
