Obverse Diagnostic Point(s)

          

          

Comments: On Obverse 6, the second 1 digit shows traces of repunching above the flag and the right base. There is a small trace of repunching above the right upper loop of the 7 digit.

Reverse E can be identified through its die lines. The primary die lines are located in the lower right wreath as shown above. Additional die lines can be seen in and around the wreath at 10:30.

This is a rare die pairing as the above plate coin is the only example seen since starting Seated dime die variety research in the early 1990s. No examples have been handled by GFRC from 2014 through 2025.

Plate Coin: G. Fortin Collection, AU50
