Obverse 6: Low Level Date, Die Cracks

Obverse 6 Reverse G
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: The date is positioned low with the left base of the 1 digit nearly touching the "0" denticle in the Denticle Ruler. There are radial die cracks on the obverse. One die crack starts at the left base and proceeds up through UNITED, then STATES. Another connects the bottom of date digits, then upward through base and Liberty's foot and ending at AMER(ICA).
On Reverse G, the letters in the denomination ONE DIME are poorly aligned with the top segment of D(I)ME having an obvious downward slope. The DIM(E) is doubled.
