Repunched 6 (Click Image To Enlarge)

Die Polish Line (Click Image To Enlarge)

Obverse 14 is identified by date placement at RH, the top of a misplaced 6 digit in the denticles below and to the left of the primary 6 of the date, date repunching that features an initial date impression to the north above the lower loop of the 6 and a die polish line within the lower loop of the 8.

Reverse N has yet to be observed with any die markers.

Comments: The location of the misplaced 6 in the denticles indicates an initial date impression far to the southwest with respect to the final date placement.
