Obverse 1.2 Reverse D.2
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)

Comments: Variety 103 results from a third pairing of Obverse 1 with Reverse 3 during their respective late die states. This is a very rare variety with few examples known. Inspection of both the obverse and reverse on 1839 Large O specimens will be necessary to locate this most difficult variety. Use a Large O late die state reverse as the primary diagnostic, then inspect the obverse for star positions and die cracks to locate an example of Variety 103.
