1889
Variety 111
Obverse 11: High Date, Slight Downward Slope, Open 9
Reverse K: Perfect Die
Obverse 11 Reverse K
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Obverse 11 has an open 9 digit in the date. The entire date punch is weak in this working die. There is a small die defect in the shield by shield line 9.
Reverse K is perfect in this early die state.
Partial head strikes seem to be the rule for this die pairing.
Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, NGC MS64
