Obverse 2: Medium Date, Slopes Up
Reverse C: Medium O, [mm Lt,H,TR], Clashed Die
Obverse 2 Reverse C
Obverse Diagnostic Point(s) Reverse Diagnostic Point(s)
Comments: Ahwash indicates that the first 1 digit is repunched. Instead the author believes the anomaly under the flag of the 1 to be a defect on the date punch. See the enlargement above to draw your own conclusions.
The Medium O mintmark on Reverse C is tilted right. Interestingly, Reverse C is clashed with multiple clash marks behind DI(ME), while Obverse 2 shows no indications of being clashed.
Further investigation is warranted to locate the obverse die that was in the mint's press during the clashing event.
