Comments: Repunching is visible above the left and right bases of the 1. Traces of repunching can be found within the lower loop of the 8. The repunching within the 8 disappears with die wear. A long diagonal die line exists from the rim down through the upper left wreath. At first, this die line appears to be a hairline scratch. However, close examination revealed it to be a depression or scratch within the reverse die.
