Comments: The Doubled Die Reverse #3 can be easily identified by a strongly doubled (O)NE. See the illistration above. This reverse also shows strong doubling on the outer wheat stalk. The die is clashed with clash marks visible behind (O)NE and through DIM(E). Obverse 6 can be identified by its medium level date. Most examples of this variety are weakly struck at Liberty's head and on the reverse bow knot.
