Comments: Kam Ahwash listed this variety as A-6 in his encyclopedia but provided no pictures. He also stated that the variety had a Small Knob date punch obverse with a repunched 1 paired with a Type 2 reverse.

I located an example of Kam's A-6 variety during 2009 which completes the illustration of all Ahwash 1876 Type 2 reverse varieties (A-4 through A-8). The repunching above the flag of the 1 digit is evident and is possible to see with a 10X or better glass. Type 2 Reverse C is substantially cracked and mapped in the above reverse illustration.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, MS62
