Reverse L Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 11 is identified by date placement at B and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the north above the left base, serif and top of the 1 digit; to the southeast and northwest within the upper loop of the 9 digit; to the south within the 0 digit; to the south below the flag and base as well as to the north within the lower loop of the 5 digit.

Reverse L has cracked.

Comments: I suspect that there may have been another usage of Obverse 11 based on a die state difference between Obverse 11 and Reverse L, with Obverse 11 exhibiting an incrementally more advanced die state compared to Reverse L.
