1876-S
Type I Reverse - Variety 112
Obverse 12: Very High Level Date, Die Defect Above Right Shield Point, Large Knob 6
Reverse K: Small Block S, [mm Lt,C]
Obverse 12 Reverse K
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 12 can be easily identified by its very high date. Though the date does not touch the base, I have designated this obverse as a Very High Date position to aid with the attribution of the numerous 1876-S obverse dies. A large die blob is visible above the right upper point of the shield.
On Reverse K, there is a faint amount of doubling on O(N)E, but this doubling would not be visible on most circulated examples.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, NGC MS63 CAC
