Obverse 9                                              Reverse E

Comments: The plate coin is the only example that I have seen of the Obverse 9 and Reverse E die pairing. To locate this rare 1877-S variety, look for a date that is positioned closer to the base than the lower denticles in conjunction with a filled S mintmark that is well centered.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF45
