Comments: Obverse 3 has been polished with polishing die lines still visible to the right of Liberty's right arm. The digits in the date are smaller resulting in a very open 9 and a DR measurement of 1L. Die cracks are evident from Liberty's foot up through AMERIC(A) to the rim and from the left base to the rim. The Small S mintmark, on Reverse D is not absolutely centered in the vertical direction, however I chose to call it [mm Lt,C] in order to aid in the differentiation with the other 1889 Small S reverses. There is a major die defect or lump on the upright of ON(E).
