Comments: I have found the F-101 Type 2 die pairing to be more available than other Type 2 varieties. The number of examples seen has allowed for a detailed mapping of the die states of Type 2 Reverse A. The earliest die state has die cracks as illustrated above. Obverse 1 has a few random die lines in the lower gown area. None were significant enough to photograph. Use the date position of Obverse 1 and the Type 2 reverse to identify this variety. Please excuses the difference between the Reverse A plate coin and the die crack enhanced mapping image. The latter was taken on an old flatbed scanner which emphasized blue tones.
