Comments: Obverse 5 is paired with a second reverse die. Reverse E exhibits a level CC mintmark with the denomination being doubled. The right side of the wreath is weak near the rim. Greer indicates that "This die combination is not as scarce as Reverse C (Fortin Reverse A), but in grades of XF or better it appears to be the rarest of the three. Extremely scarce above VF."
