Obverse 6 is identified by date placement at LE and the base of a misplaced 1 digit embedded in the bust point and first pearl. Obverse 6 has developed rim breakage between 10:15 and 12:00 and has acquired a clash mark in front of the eye of Miss Liberty from a clashing event with Reverse F.

Reverse F is rotated 4 degrees counter clockwise and has acquired a clash mark through (C)ENT from a clashing event with Obverse 6.

Comments: The 4 degree rotation of Variety 1 is a static rotational attribute of this die pairing and was present during the clashing event between Obverse 6 and Reverse F.
