Comments: A spectacular occurrence of a two digit blundered date is found on Obverse 9. The extra bases of the 76 digits are centered on either side of the right scroll end. The two misplaced bases of the 6 digit are easily seen to the right of the scroll end. The bases of the 7 digit can be found in the lower fold of the scroll, directly below LIBERT(Y). Obverse 9 is also paired with a late die state Reverse H. A die crack connects the tops of the mintmark to the left and right ribbon ends. This variety was first published by Louis Stubler in Gobrecht Journal issue number 47. This variety was listed as MPD-001 in the Kevin Flynn "Two Dates Are Better Than One" misplaced date reference book.
