Reverse B: Small S, [mm C,H], Doubled Die Reverse #1

        

Obverse 2                                                Reverse B

 

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)                 Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

        

Comments: Obverse 2 is in an early die state when paired with Reverse B. The base of the 1 digit in the date is broken, while the 9 digit is closed.

Reverse B shows die doubling in the denomination and the left outer wreath leaves. I have designated Reverse B as Doubled Die Reverse #1 since there are multiple doubled reverse dies for 1891 San Francisco coinage. The Small S mintmark on Reverse B is positioned left and high.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, EF45
