Die Crack from 5:30 |

Obverse 6 is identified by repunching on the 6 to the south and north, with date placement at RH.
Reverse F is cracked at two locations:
1. Light die crack from the denticles at 5:30 into the ribbon end and olive leaf.
2. Die crack from the denticles at 10:30 through the wreath and exiting into the denticles at 9:00.
Comments: The
repunching of the date for obverse 6 is quite minor. The die
crack on the left side of reverse F is initially severe from the
denticles to the wreath, with the remainder of the die crack moderately
sized in comparison. Small die break forms around the crack at
9:30 inside the wreath. Perhaps a later die state of reverse F
will bring forth a cud in the area defined by the die crack from 10:30
to 9:00
