2. Die Specific Comments |
|
Two features of this die are particularly notable. The first is the repunched T in CENT, which is present on only a few 1859 dies. The second is a pronounced gouge below Leaf 2 (see below). This feature was probably present when the die was new and makes its identification easy.
