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: Most of the obverse has die scratches, many are specific and can be seen in the photos. Of note are two joined die scratches behind the shoulder not from the Y in LIBERTY as well as a sharp NE-SW die scratch protruding from the very tip of the 7 in the date. Comparison photos with a normal 1973 are provided. EMDS

Reverse: Many somewhat circular dies scratches can be seen through ONE CENT and the lower and right parts of the memorial. MDS
