Obverse 3

The right side of 1 in the date is under the shield point, and is the left-most date position of any of the obverse dies for the 1875-S. There is a diagonal line across a denticle below the 5.

Reverse B

This reverse features a minor repunched S/S, with the mintmark closer to the arrow and branch than to the Y beneath it. The repunching is only noticed by a notch in the upper right serif.

Minor S/S

There is also always weakness in the words UNITED STATES, particularly in the tops of the letters.

Weakness in UNITED STATES

Only low-grade examples seen thus far, and thus no meaningful die cracks are visible.

Comments: This is the first use of this obverse die and the first use of the reverse die.

Scarcity: A rare die marriage. Rarity rating: R-5.
