Variety Attribution: Obverse-Star 13 nearly touches bust. Star 8 weak. Date is 8 1/2 mm. and 1 nearly touches curl. Top of Y is higher than T. The six is smaller than 180 and higher. stars 6 and 7 almost touch as do stars 10 and 11.
O-127a: Die crack develops from milling through lower points of star 6 which later becomes much heavier and extends to ribbon.

Reverse-None of the 5 berries have stems, the lower one and upper two are close to olive branch while the two center ones are well clear and appear to be suspended in space. Olive stem through claw and a die defect line joins end of stem to tail feathers. Right base of F missing. Star point attached to front of beak. Leaf point to right base of I and distant.
