Description

Obverse Stage B: Die Markers: Obverse Stage A: Two die scratches slightly above center, inside the D in GOD and running NW/SE. Two die scratches from the vertical bar of the D in GOD, one running WNW to the O in GOD and the higher scratch running NW toward the rim. Heavy die scratches around the mintmark area. Obverse Stage B: Stage A scratches very weak. Obverse Stage C: Die chip slightly SE of the bust tip. Obverse Stage D: Series of die chips (dots) above the I of LIBERTY. Die clash at throat and bow tie area. Obverse Stage E: Die clash abraded away. Most markers are gone. Obverse Stage F: This stage is questionable. An example was presented that shows a large die break and a rim cud at 2:00 o'clock. More examples are needed to verify if this was actual or from a bad planchet. Reverse Stage A: Die chip in the field left and center of the L in PLURIBUS. Reverse Stage B: Light die scratch through the upper second U and M of UNUM. Reverse Stage C: Weaker stage A markers.

Reverse Stage E: All previous markers are gone. Reverse Stage F: This stage is questionable. An example was presented that shows a large die break and a rim cud at 3:30 o'clock. More examples are needed to verify if this was actual or from a bad planchet. Obverse Stage A:
