Owner Comments:

CAC

Not attributed on the label as the Speared Bud variety (WB-104), but previous owner advertised it as such. In my photo of the Reverse you can just see the diagnostic die scratch that runs horizontally through the upper bud on the olive branch. When I look at the upper bud with a 5x magnifier, the scratch is clear, and it matches the closeup view shown in NGC's VarietyPlus.
