Comments: Variety 101 features the pairing of Obverse 1 and Reverse A. During this pairing, both dies are perfect and the devices are well struck.
The mintmark placement on Reverse A is similar to two other In Wreath dies and needs careful attention during attributions. Please see the following comparison of mintmark positions on In Wreath Reverse A, Reverse G and Reverse J.
