Obverse 5: Misplaced 1 Digit, High Date, Downward Slope
Reverse E: Perfect Die
Obverse 5 Reverse E
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.
