Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

              

Comments: The date position on Obverse 10 is very similar to that of Obverse 6. Both dates have a Denticle Ruler measurement of DR 0R, the Obverse 10 date punch is positioned closer to the center point of the "0" and "1" denticles. There are several die lines in the lower gown area as shown above. Use these die lines as an additional attribution point to identify Obverse 10.

Reverse I is lightly clashed and weakly hubbed especially at the denomination letters.
