Type II Reverse - Variety 106
Obverse 6: Die Defects on Liberty, Medium Level Date, Small Knob 6
Reverse F: Clashed Die
Obverse 6 Reverse F
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: A sixth Type II reverse die pair was identified by Dr. Tim Cook during September 2015. The obverse die can be easily diagnosed by checking Liberty's lower leg for die defects as there are many to the above right of the shield. One large die blog is seen coupled with a few much smaller dot defects immediately below right. The date is level with a Denticle Ruler measurement of 0B1 and is from the Small Knob 6 date punch.
Reverse F has a few very faint die cracks in the left wreath but insufficient for die mapping. This die is clashed.
