Type II Reverse - Variety 109
Obverse 9: Medium Level Date, Die Line Above Pendant, Clashed Die
Reverse H: Perfect Die
Obverse 9 Reverse H
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 9 can be identified by a medium level date and a Denticle Ruler measurement of 0B1. There is a die line visible immediately to the right of the scroll end and above the pendant. Previously, I had suggested that this die line might be the top loop of a misplaced 8 digit. After seeing the Mint State plate coin, I am convinced that this artifact is only a die line, nothing more.
Obverse 9 is moderately clashed while Reverse H exhibits traces of die clashing.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, PCGS MS62 CAC
