Reverse A: Proof Die, Die Cracks On Outer Edges of Leaves
Obverse 1 Reverse A
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 1 and Reverse A are proof dies that do not match the known set of dies identified by Ahwash or reported by Greer. The digits in the date are very thin. There is a die scratch within Liberty's left armpit.
Reverse A appears to be a left over die from 1878. There are die cracks along the outer edges of the leaves in the wreath. More research will be needed to make a potential association with a Type II 1878 reverse die.
