Obverse Description
Star 7 hollow center, slender points OBV. 11. S1UH, S7LE-CHb, S8B, S13UH. Star 7 with its slender points has the appearance of a daisy. The difference from other stars on this same coin, or any other star 7 in 1834 is pronounced. Date is 7 mm. with the numerals widely and evenly spaced. Mouth is open and the upper lip has a sharp curl, might be called a harelip. Late states show little milling and stars drawn to edge.
Reverse Description
Stripes 1 and 2 each have 1 line to fifth crossbar REV. L. A1B, A2UE, A3C. 50 C. is 1 mm. and high. 5 is small with a straight top and the loop is nearly closed. A-A is 1 ¼ mm. Besides the two 2 stripe lines to the fifth crossbar, several other lines penetrate to the second and third crossbars. Line 3 of stripe 3 extends below shield. Left side of I under right side of T. Some early die states show a die lump in field between eagles beak and scroll and 0 in 50 C. widely recut at top. Lapping of die in late states has removed the lump and evidence of recutting at 0 in 50 C. Milling also disappears in late states. (65,64,64,62,61) R.3
