Obverse Description
Stars 3, 4 and 8 recut OBV. 13. S1LE, S7UE-UHHb, S8B, S13UH. Stars close to milling and most are flat and irregular. S13 is ¾ mm. from curl. Date is 6 ½ mm. and high, with the 8 showing recutting at lower outside loop. Mouth slightly open, but not quite so open and upper lip is not quite so deformed as on obverse 12. One recut at lower serif. A fine die line shows on most specimens from top of star 13 along right side of curls.
Reverse Description
Sharp center dot, narrow arrowheads REV. N. A1UE, A2C, A3LH. 50 C. is 1 mm. and high. 5 has a short, heavy, straight top. There is a sharp center dot between crossbars 3 and 4. A diagonal defect line between stripes 3, 4 and 5 near the bottom. Arrowheads narrow and separated. A-A is 1 ½ mm. Several crossbars extend sharply to left of shield. The E in the scroll has also been removed and recut to the left, similar to the previous number. S recut at lower left. This variety, both obverse and reverse, is remarkably similar to the preceding number and possibly one is a reworked version of the other. Still there are enough specific differences that they must be considered different varieties. (65,65,64,64,64) R.1
