1841 Philadelphia
Mintage: 1,622,500
Obverse Dies: 8 Known
A total of eight different obverse dies have been identified for 1841 Philadelphia coinage.
The plate coin is an Obverse 3, repunched 184 example which is paired with a second reverse die that is rotated 18 degrees right. Reverse D is perfect during this early die state. I have found rust free reverse die examples to be difficult to locate. Most later die state examples exhibit progressive levels of damage as Reverse D is rusting. The ME in DIME and the UN in UNITED are the prime areas of inspection for determining the level of damage to Reverse D.
