Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

        

Comments: A rare repunched date variety that is infrequently encountered. Obverse 3 exhibits a date with repunching on all four digits and a misplaced date punch on the gown to the right of the scroll end.

Reverse C has minor doubling in the left wreath that needs more research.

This variety was discovered by John McCloskey and was first published in the Gobrecht Journal in March of 1992.
