V is observed with die cracks from the rim at 4:00 and 8:15 and clash marks located to the right of the denomination.
Comments:
The repunching of obverse 5 is to the south even though the
repunching visible on the 65 is to the north. The date punch
initially contacted the face of the working die to the south and at a
sharp upward slope compared to the final date impression.
Therefore, remnants of the 65 may be seen above these digits
because of the slope of the initial date impression.
