Comments: The date on Obverse 3 is slightly larger than Obverse 2, probably due to a stronger placement within the die. The date is also higher than Obverse 2, with the 7 digit pointing between two denticles. The reverse has developed a significant die crack starting from the rim at 9:00, through UNIT(E)D, the wreath, (O)NE and ending at DI(ME). This reverse die state also shows considerable erosion around the legend.
