Comments: Obverse 8 is highly prooflike. The second 7 digit in the date is repunched up. Obverse 8 is paired with Reverse A, which was previously used to strike proof dimes when paired with Obverse 1. Reverse A again exhibits doubling in DI(ME) and the outer left oak leaves. A series of die cracks have appeared in the left wreath. Is this variety a second set of dies intended to generate proof dimes? The reverse die crack would suggest not.
