Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: Ahwash listed this variety as A-2, however the misplaced top loop of an 8 digit was not identified. The misplaced digit is clearly seen between the right end of the scroll and the left edge of a gown fold. There are numerous die defects on Liberty's body. One is seen on her left elbow, another is located below the left breast. Reverse D is badly cracked in the left wreath, particularly at 10:00. There is a large blob type die defect on the outer wreath at 10:30. This variety was listed as MPD-003 in the Kevin Flynn "Two Dates Are Better Than One" misplaced date reference book.
