Comments: Reverse A has continued to degrade. The denticles are badly eroded, while heavy die cracks are visible through most of the wreath. This is the final Reverse A die state that I have been able to locate. I would not be surprised to learn that this die produces a retained cud between 7:30 and 9:00. Obverse 4 will be paired with three additional Below Wreath reverse dies to produce additional coinage. During usage for Below Wreath coinage, this obverse die will be labeled Below Wreath Obverse 7.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, AU50
