Variety specialists:
Dramatic die crack across reverse.Obverse-Obverse-Star 15 is 1 mm. from bust. Curl about 1/2 mm. from 2 upper points of star 1 and 2 inner points of star 2. date is 8 3/4 mm. rather evenly spaced and well centered. R in LIBERTY is higher than E and T. A fine die crack is usually vible from near end of bust to milling, just left... of star 15. More die cracks, one from upper edge through E to head. Another from lower edge up through I and lower curls. A third joins stars 9 and 10 then to edge near star 12. Cracks are usually more pronounced than on the O-102a.
Reverse- 19 Berries, 9 left and 10 right, the only such division in 1795. Four berries below right wing, two inside and two outside, one of those outside has no stem and is merely a small bump near stem of leaf. Point of leaf is centered below RI and distant.
