Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Another double die reverse die pairing was first identified by Dale Miller and confirmed by the website author. Variety 123 captures the pairing of Obverse 7 with Doubled Die Reverse #2. The only diagnostic for Obverse 7 is date position.
Reverse E is categorized as Doubled Die Reverse #2 and its primary diagnostic is minor doubling on the outer left edge of (O)NE and strong doubling on the outer edges of the maple leaves and within the veins of the leaves. Look for the long die crack on the outer maple leaf as another diagnostic point.
