Obverse 1 (Second Marriage)
Reverse A
O-101 R3 is below. O-101a which may be R7, at bottom

It is tough to see the overdate with this die marriage. There is a nice group of AU examples with a single MS61 coin out there making this one not that difficult to obtain in a higher grade. The late die state has a break then a cud above ITE reverse and is very rare.
