1865 Fancy 5 Variety 28






Obverse 24

Reverse AU



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position


Reverse Diagnostics



Cud between 2:30 and 3:30


Obverse 24 is observed with date placement at LE.

Reverse AU develops a retained cud between 2:30 and 3:30.

Comments:  Variety 28 was first identified by Pine Tree Coin and Jewelry during early March 2017.  Pine Tree Coin and Jewelry were very kind in allowing me to use their images to illustrate Variety 28 for this book..

Heavy die clashing is evident to the right of the denomination of Reverse AU and I would assume that Obverse 24 will also exhibit clash marks from a clashing event between both working dies.  Since I have only images to work with, I cannot determine with certainty if Obverse 24 has acquired clash marks.
