Reverse I.2 Die Crack Mapping

Obverse 9 is observed with date placement at RE and has developed a moderately sized die break beside the forehead of Miss Liberty as well as acquiring a clash mark in front of the eye of Miss Liberty from a clashing event with Reverse I. Obverse 9 has developed the following die crack:
1. Light die crack connects the tops of 'ST(ATES)'.

Reverse I has acquired clash marks through (C)ENT from a clashing event with Obverse 9.
Rev. I.2: Reverse I has developed the following die cracks:
1. Die crack from the rim at 5:00 extends through the wreath stem, ribbon knot and olive leaves, where it exits into the rim at 7:45.
2. Die crack from the rim at 10:45 extends downward through the outer edge of the left wreath and intersects die crack #1 at the bottom edge of the outer middle olive leaf.

Comments: The Obverse 9 die break most likely formed due to the clashing between Obverse 9 and Reverse I.

Reverse I will later be in service paired with Obverse 25 during the 1892 Variety 23 Die Pairing.

Variety 7a was first identified by this author during early February 2022.
