Reverse AAB Die Crack Mapping


Cud Between 11:30 and 12:30


Obverse is observed with date placement at approximately LH.

Reverse AAB develops a cud between 11:30 and 12:30 and the following die cracks:
1.  Die crack from the denticles at 10:45 down into the left wreath.
2.  Die crack from the denticles at 1:00 down into the right wreath.

Comments:  The reverse AAB cud was first identifed by Jim Stiller of Excelsior Coin & Collectibles through the above plate coin listed for sale during early June 2016.  Jim was very kind in allowing me to use his images to illustrate variety 52 for this book.

Obverse 50 will lack rim definition on the right side due to the fact that obverse 50 was struck from misaligned working dies.

Plate coin:  Jim Stiller, G4
