1906 Variety 84


Obverse 83	Reverse AAAG

Obverse Diagnostics

Date Position

Repunched 6

Rotated View Of Lower Loop Initial Date Impression

Reverse Diagnostics

Clash Mark Through The C Of CENT

Obverse 83 is identified by date placement at RE and date repunching that features initial date impressions to the south within the upper loop and a wide initial date impression to the southwest within the lower loop of the 6.

Reverse AAAG is observed with a clash mark through the C of CENT.

Comments: The artifact within the lower loop of the 6 seems to be an initial date impression positioned to the southwest with respect to the final date placement. Raised diagonal lines are visible only within the upper and lower loop of the 6, which indicate that the Mint attempted to efface the impressions from the face of the working die.
