Obverse 15 is identified by repunching to the north and south on the 6,
with date placement at RE. Obverse 15 has developed moderately
heavy die flow lines and has acquired a clash mark between feathers 6
and 7 from a clashing event with reverse O.
Reverse O is in a similar die state as obverse 15, with the advancement
of moderately heavy die flow lines. Reverse O has acquired clash
marks to the right of the denomination and through the C of CENT from a
clashing event with obverse 15. Reverse O develops the following
die crack:
1. Die crack from the rim at 5:00 into the ribbon end.
Comments: The clashing
event between obverse 15 and reverse O occurred during the modest four
degree counter clockwise rotation of reverse O.
