Type II Reverse - Variety 105

Reverse E: Perfect Die

Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

        

Comments: An extra base of a 1 digit is visible in the rock directly above the 8 in the date. I have found this variety to be rare with only two examples personally seen since its discovery by Jason Carter in 1991. This MPD variety was initially listed in the Gobrecht Journal. Also listed as MPD-001 in the Kevin Flynn "Two Dates Are Better Than One" misplaced date reference book.
