Obverse 2
This die has a different date position than found on BF-1. The right side of 1 is under the shield point (see second photo below).
The 1 also shows slight repunching under the flag and at the right of the base. There is also a thin gouge or die line to the right of
one of the denticles below the 1 as shown in the image to the right. |

In late die states, the date and cap area is damaged, resulting in deformities on the 75 of the date, as well as the cap and stars.
