Type II Obverse 10 is identified by date placement at LH and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south below the serif of the 1, within the lower loop of the first 8 and within the upper loop of the second 8. Type II Obverse 10 has acquired clash marks in front of the face of Miss Liberty and between feathers 6, 7, 8 and 9 from a clashing event with Reverse V.

Reverse V is rotated 4 degrees counter clockwise and has acquired clash marks through (C)ENT, to the right of the denomination and between the shield and right wreath from a clashing event with Type II Obverse 10. Reverse V has developed the following die crack:
1. Die crack from the denticles at 9:45 that extends downward through the left wreath.

Comments: The Type II Variety 6 die rotation of four degrees is a static rotational attribute of this die pairing and was evident during the clashing event between Type II Obverse 10 and Reverse V.
