Comments: On Obverse 2, repunching is visible above the left and right bases of the 1 digit. Traces of repunching can be found within the lower loop of the 8 digit. The repunching within the 8 digit disappears with die wear.
Reverse B has a small block S mintmark which is a different style mintmark than used on Reverse A. A long diagonal die line is typically seen 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.
