Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: Obverse 5 presents an obvious misplaced date punch. The extra flag of the 1 digit can be seen immediately to the right of the scroll end. The date is positioned high with a sharp downward slope. This misplaced date variety was first identified by the author during 1999.

Reverse E is perfect.
