Variety Attribution: Obverse-Large stars and 1 and 13 are close to curl and bust. Large close date.

Others at arrow points, left base of N, above arrow points and below left wing. Many smaller ones apparently from a rusted and pitted die. Clash lines in clouds, at OF, below right wing on most specimens.
