Clash Marks Through (C)ENT

Obverse 14 is identified by date placement at RH and date repunching that features an initial date impression to the north above the top of the 1. Obverse 14 has developed moderately heavy die flow lines and has acquired a clash mark in front of the eye of Miss Liberty from a clashing event with Reverse N.

Reverse N is in a similar die state as Obverse 14, with the advancement of moderately heavy die flow lines. Reverse N has acquired two clash marks through (C)ENT from a clashing event with Obverse 14.

Comments: I suspect that Obverse 14 also exhibits two clash marks, though I cannot determine this on the above plate coin.
