Variety Attribution: Obverse-Stars are small, sharp and well clear of milling. Star 8 is 1 mm. from cap. Stars 6, 7, and 11 recut. Date 7 1/2 mm. with 83 a shade closer than 18 or 36. The die has been lapped, removing the small spur on the loop of 6, tine at nose, and recutting on the stars, also leaving weaker milling and detail. Outline of cap opposite of star 8 has been entirely lapped away.
Reverse- 50 C. is 1 1/4 mm. and high. The 5 is slender, well formed, has a curved top, and is a shade lower than 0 which is unusual. Arrow to A is 1 mm. Crossbars 2 and 3 extend well into left wing. I is centered under left side of T.
