Comments: Three sets of dies were used for both business strike and proofs while Variety 101 dies have been only seen on proofs. Recently, a fifth obverse die was identified by Jim Smith on a business strike specimen. Most business strikes are found with prooflike or semi prooflike surfaces. Obverse 4 is often seen with a partially struck head. Value As A Date (Coin World Trends/CoinValues
