Obverse 61 is identified by date placement at RH and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the serif of the 1, to the south within both loops and below the bottom left side of the upper loop of the first 8 and to the north above the upper loop and within both loops of the 9. Obverse 61 is observed with die polish lines.

Reverse AAH is also observed with the presence of die polish lines.

Comments: Close examination of the Obverse 61 initial date impressions reveals two separate initial date impressions above the upper loop of the 9.
