Comments: There are two key obverse diagnostics for Obverse 11. First there is repunching under the flag of the 5 digit. Secondly, a long die defect is present directly left of Liberty's left elbow. Obverse 11 will be paired with two additional reverse dies. They are listed as Variety 112 and 113. On Reverse K, there are several die scratches in the wreath at 9:00 near the rim. See the photo above.
