1869
Variety 22
Obverse 22 is observed with date placement at RH.
Reverse W has developed a partial cud between 6:30 and 8:30.
Comments: Variety
22 was first identified in Frank Leones's reference 'Sam Thurman's Cud Collection'
and cross referencing the above plate coin as IC-1869-1R in both 'The Design Cud' by
Paul Marvin and Arnold Margolis and 'The Cud Book' by
Sam Thurman and Arnold Margolis. However, the above plate
coin was not struck from the working dies that struck IC-1869-1R.
Although described in Frank Leone's reference as a retained cud, I
suspect the Reverse W section between 6:30 and 8:30 has not completely
separated from the working die body and should be described as a
partial cud.
