Digit Punch Artifact (Click Image To Enlarge)

Obverse 13 is identified by date placement at RH and the tops of a misplaced 8 and 3 digits among the denticles below and to the left of the primary second 8 and 3 digits of the date. Obverse 13 is observed with a digit punch artifact within the lower loop of the 3 digit.

Reverse M is yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: The Obverse 13 misplaced digits are the result of a digit punch misalignment while impressing the date into the working die.
