Primary Characteristics
4 - Doubled 8-1
Identified in 1967 by Leroy Van Allen
Obverse Hub III2 Die 3
The left 8 slightly doubled at the lower left inside of upper loop. The right 1 is doubled at the top and on the lower right side of vertical bar as a notch. However the first 1 and second 8 can also be doubled making this a somewhat confusing VAM to identify.
Some coins show a vertical die scratch outside the L in LIBERTY on the headband. There are a few small horizontal lines inside of the ear.
On some of our examples the coin is clashed but without letter transfer.
