Comments: The Obverse 3 die is well rusted with granular surfaces. The die rust is excessive in the shield area and throughout Liberty's body. There is a slight depression in the shield between shield lines 7 and 8. Obverse 3 is paired with Reverse C which exhibits no rust artifacts and has normal surfaces.

On Reverse C, a pair of die cracks are seen at 10:30 near the rim. The right wreath is die doubled at the outer oak leaf and corn ear husk. Ahwash listed this die pairing as A-1 and does acknowledge the reverse doubling, but did not mention the obverse die rust.
