Comments: On Obverse 3, the die doubling is clearly visible above the letters UN(ITED STATES). The 2 digit is repunched. The repunching is visible directly below the diagonal. Reverse C exhibits a strong diagonal die gouge through O(NE). Monfort Johnson popularized this variety when he published his observations in the Liberty Seated Collector's Club Gobrecht Journal, Issue #16.
