Comments: A second proof die pair can be easily diagnosed by date position and weak date punch resulting in an open 9 digit. On Variety 102, the 1 digit is further from the base than on Variety 101.

Reverse B is already showing die cracks between the ribbon ends and from the left ribbon end into the wreath.

Both proof Varieties 101 and 102 are equally available.
