Each stage tab below is clickable — it opens more identification photos and marker notes for that stage (A, B, C, and so on). Start on the summary above, then switch tabs to see how the die evolved.

Obverse: A long ribbon shaped die gouge shows under the G of GOD. A NE-SW die scratch shows between the T and Y of LIBERTY. A die scratch intersects the lapel from the coat just beneath the button hole.

Reverse: Damage shows to the die around the N of ONE. This is presumably from a polished out clash and affects the outline of the letter at the field. Old, N-S die scratches are present throughout the right half of the design. Reverse is LMDS.
