Comments: The primary Obverse 17 diagnostic is a bold date punch which is high and level with respect to the base. All Variety 120 specimens seen come with nicely struck obverses.

Reverse S is well worn and shattered with multiple die cracks from the wreath to rim. The Small S mintmark is bold and has a significant die crack to the right. Use this diagnostic for identifying Reverse S.
