Obverse Description
OBV. 3. S1C, S7UE-TOC, S8UH, S13B. Stars on left usually show more detail than those on right, and are all small and close to milling. Date is small, evenly spaced and a close 8 mm. Most specimens show a fine crack from star 10 to lower curls.
Reverse Description
REV. A. A1LH, A2UE, A3LH. 50 C. very large, high and a close 1 mm. Top of C. is close to olive stem and ends of C are nearly closed. Upper part of C is weakly struck. A-A is ¾ mm. Left sides of T and I in line. This is the third use of this reverse in 1829. E PLURIBUS UNUM entirely recut. A2 recut along left base. This marriage appears to be the first use of this reverse die even though the overdate is listed earlier in the text. (see O.101 also O.107.) (64,64,64,61,60) R.5
