Die Notes
Light class V pivoted spread from around 3 o'clock shows in IBERT of LIBERTY and slightly on I of IN. Doubling is similar to, but milder than, what is seen on 1DO-001; the MM is in a similar location but there is no evidence of doubling in the date. An earlier die state may show more doubling.
Cross references
None on file.
