Obverse 2                                                 Reverse C

 

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

              

Comments: The date punch is positioned low with the 1 digit nearly touching the DR 0 denticle. The date position is very similar on both Obverse 1 and Obverse 2. Each obverse must be carefully identified through the use of the Denticle Ruler method since Obverse exhibits a DR 0B1 date position while Obverse has a DR 0R date position. Obverse 2 provides two die lines in the shield as an additional diagnostic point. Reverse C is without any obvious defects.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, NGC AU55
