Comments: Obverse 9 die cracks are consistent with those listed for Variety 113a. Die crack through bottom of date digits is clear while the die crack which runs from Liberty's foot up through AMER(ICA) is also visible.

During Variety 113b die state, the reverse die crack from the rim at 3:30 down through the edge of oak leaves is severe. The die crack fully connects the right obverse rim with the oak leaves and suggests Reverse I is about to disintegrate with additional coinage. Further research may yet turn up a specimen with full cud in this area.

The Variety 113b plate coin was identified by David Poliquin and shared for inclusion in the web-book.

Previous/Subsequent Die Pairings - In Wreath Obverse 9

After striking In Wreath dimes with this die pairing, Obverse 9 will be paired with BW Reverse B (Variety 103) to strike additional coinage. This obverse die will continued to degrade during this pairing with the die crack through the date becoming more severe. In the final die pairing with BW Reverse E (Variety 112), the obverse die completely shatters producing a huge cud through the date digits.

Previous/Subsequent Die Pairings - In Wreath Reverse I

Variety 113 is the only known die pairing with Reverse I. The centered mintmark position and die cracks listed here should allow for easier identification of other potential die pairings.
