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.
