These dies were used in a combination of metals and edge treatments. J-52. buckled die (but not perfect die) examples of J-54, and varieties J-54, and J-55 to J-56a are restrikes. J-53 coins are original, and perfect die (weight about 60 grains) specimens of J-54 are not original. Originals are from circulation type (non-Proof) die finish; all others are with Proof finish. Some of J-53 were pickled at the Mint to simulate their appearance after a degree of circulation; such coins quickly turned dull gray or black.2 • J-52: restrike, medal turn. • J-53: original, coin turn, non-Proof dies (as struck, reeding coarse). • J-54: cracked obverse die, medal turn. • J-55: restrike, medal turn.3 • J-55a: restrike, medal turn. • J-55b: restrike, medal turn, struck as PE, but later given RE (reeded after striking, delicate reeding4) • J-56 and J-56a: existence is uncertain.
