O-110 R2 is below. O-110a R2 is at bottom. It may be possible that combined this marriage is an R1.

PCGS Graded XF45. Antique colorful toning embraces both sides of this high end example. Quite a bit of luster remains, especially in the devices, and it appears to fully circle the coin on either side. Strike weakness is apparent in Miss Liberty and the Eagle.
