Comments: Ahwash describes his A-5 variety as a Small Knob 6 obverse paired with a Type 2 reverse, but no plate coin is shown. He further documents a shield position of SP-7.0, broken (S)TATES and (O)F and a date that is level and medium distance from the base. Obverse 2, as presented above, matches the Ahwash descriptions except for the date having a slight downward slope which may have been overlook by Ahwash. On Obverse 2, there are several minor die lines exiting the lower right shield as shown above. The 8 digit in the date is centered over an obverse denticle.

Reverse B is perfect.
