Doubled bottom of B in PLURIBUS. Extra metal at top of lower loop of first 8 and couple of polishing lines at front of eyelid. Clashed die with faint partial incuse t at lower right hair vee. Reverse C3b– Same hub doubling but different die. Several obverse and reverse dies. Die 1 - Vertical polishing line in space to left of eagle's right leg. Date position (DPIS): In 1878 dates were part of the master die so there is no variation in position. Notes: Has die chip on forehead & vertical polishing line left of eagle's rt leg of 221-1 Die 1. Unlisted clashed dies with faint t at lower rt hair vee. Don't see any clashsd n left of neck using 30X stereo microscope that could be photographed. Bag marks & coin wear may have erased n. Would have to be way out in field instead of.next to neck since vertical clash line up from wing is near G instead of at n. Don't also see any raised clashed M between d & W- only long horizontal bag marks. Made clashed t sub-sub variety since dies of 221-l Die 1. Has slight counterclash at upper lip & chin which I mentioned. Maybe better condition coin would show clashed n & M. Discovery Coin close up #1 and 2. Discovery Coin close up #3 and 4.
