Obverse 20.2: Medium Level Date, Die Crack Through Liberty's Head
Reverse V.3: Retained Cud Between 9:00 - 10:30 , Medium O, [mm Lt,C]
Obverse 20.2 Reverse V.3
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Creating a notable terminal die state in the Liberty Seated dime series, Reverse V is badly degraded with an elevated die cud from 9:00 to 10:30. There are numerous other reverse die cracks. I have mapped these cracks by darkening the internal raised metal regions on the reverse die as illustrated above. The raised metal areas are in solid black.
Obverse 20 shows faint die cracks encircling the legend, Liberty's head and the date.
