Reverse X: Spaghetti Type Defect at Upper Rim, Reverse Rotated Right 15 Degrees
Obverse 15 Reverse N
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: During mid-2024, Michael Dustin reported the discovery of an incremental die pairing with bold die markers. He was able to identify Obverse 15 being paired with a new reverse die which is labeled as Reverse X. Liberty's neck area exhibits a vertical irregular die line type defect along with two small die pits on the left facing leg immediately above right of the shield.
Reverse X can be easily identified by a long spaghetti type die line at the top of the reverse. Please note that the reverse die is rotated right by 15 degrees which is captured in the above illustration.
