Variety 104
Obverse 2: Worn Die, Medium Level Date, Broken S and O
Reverse D: Medium S, [mm Rt,L], Die Crack In Lower Left Wreath
Obverse 2 Reverse D
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: In this late die state, Obverse 2 is badly eroded as can be seen from the date position image and that of the legend to the right of Liberty.
On Reverse D, the mintmark placement is similar to that of Reverse A and C. One cannot differentiate the reverse dies based on mintmark placement alone. A die crack is visible in the lower left wreath that does not match those on the other reverse dies. More research and examples of later die state coinage is required to fully explain the basis of Reverse D and it early origins.
