Coin #1 in Barry's study

This particular variety is the only known example of an "Even", Narrow Date . In addition, the Mint Mark "H" has been punched so High above the Left Leg of the "N", that it appears to be touching the Bottom, Right side of the Knot in the Wreath. This is the Highest positioning of the Mint Mark for any of the currently listed variations, making it a defining feature. Also, many of the Reverse Side letters display modest traces of Re-engraving, but their use is very limited for the identification of this variety.
