Comments: The Reverse J mintmark position is similar to that of Reverse A. However, Reverse J exhibits faint doubling of the denomination above each letter. The doubling is best seen on top of D(I)ME. Secondly, Reverse A exhibits a die defect on a maple leaf in the lower left wreath. The die defect is not present on this variety.
