Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: This is the second of two 1876 obverses with repunching of the 76 digits. Close inspection is necessary to differentiate Varieties 105 and 106. The repunching is very evident under both the 7 and 6 digits while on Obverse 5, the repunching is most evident only under the 6 digit. The working die for Obverse 6 may have been polished or lapped. This die exhibits mild rust damage within the inner folds of the gown. The base above the date digits is very weak, as are the letters in the legend. Reverse F is shows a circular ring of die cracks throughout the wreath.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, MS60
