Comments:
   This is the last of three uses of Obverse 8 and the first of two uses of Reverse D.

Obverse 8
The photo below shows the Obverse 8 attribution grid. The misplaced digit, likely the top of a 7,
but possibly a 2 or 8, is visible deep in the denticles beneath the right side of the prominent 7.
We’ve made this variety one of our Top-30. Since this obverse
is shared by OC-10, OC-11, and OC-12, any of the three die marriages will fill this Top-30 slot.

Obverse 8 Die States
- Perfect die.
No later die states have been observed.

Reverse D
Reverse D displays few die markers, but one large lump just right of the lower serif of the E in WE
should allow easy identification for any example grading VF or better. This is indicated by the
arrow in the following photo.

Reverse D Die States
- Perfect die.
We've seen no later die states for either OC-10 die, but this is a somewhat scarce die marriage, so later states may be out there.
