1905 Variety 48






Obverse 48

Reverse AW



Obverse Diagnostics



Date Position

Reverse Diagnostics



Retained Cud Between 3:30 and 5:00


Obverse 48 is observed with date placement at LE.

Reverse AW has developed a retained cud between 3:30 and 5:00.

Comments:  The Reverse AW retained cud is similar in size and location to that of the retained cud of Reverse AI from the 1905 Variety 34 Die Pairing.  Several 1905 reverses develop similar breaks in this area; therefore, care should be taken to determine an accurate reverse identification.

Variety 48 was first brought to my attention during mid September 2017 by an anonymous seller, who granted me permission to use their images to illustrate Variety 48 for this book.
