Die Break At CE(N)T (Click Image To Enlarge)


Obverse 38 is observed with date placement at LH.

The second usage of Reverse AC.  Reverse AC is rotated 9 degrees clockwise and has developed a die break that is located within the bottom right of CE(N)T.

Comments:  Reverse AC was previously in service paired with Obverse 28 during the 1903 Variety 29 Die Pairing.

The Reverse AC die polish line that was located above the shield during the Variety 29 Die Pairing is no longer visible during the Variety 40 Die Pairing due to advanced die state.
