Variety Attribution O-106: Obverse- Stars large, Star 1 is 1 1/4 mm. from Drapery upper forecurl stands clear of headband. mouth broad and open. Date is 9 3/4 mm. with small figures, wide spaced and well centered. 18 wider than 810.
O-106a: Rim now flattened. This happened in the minting process, apparently something lodged in the die and, whatever it was, it moved, as the rim flattening appears in several different positions. It has been observed near stars 1, 5-6, 6-7, 11-12-13 and it no doubt occurs in other positions. Some specialists and reasearchers believe that this problem with flattened areas on the obverse and reverse rims or segment areas of the coin was caused by the edge lettering machinery. A subject worthy of further research.
