Hub Doubling and Die Crack

Clash Marks To The Right Of The Denomination

Obverse 20 is identified by date placement at B and misplaced 90 digits in the denticles below the 90 of the date. Obverse 20 has acquired a clash mark in front of the eye of Miss Liberty from a clashing event with Reverse T.

Reverse T is identified by minor class II hub doubling in the right wreath between 3:00 and 3:30. Reverse T has acquired a clash mark located to the right of the denomination from a clashing event with Obverse 20. Reverse T develops the following die crack:
1. Radial die crack from the rim at 3:30 through the right wreath toward the T of CENT.

Comments: The Reverse T hub doubling is quite minor, though Reverse T may be identified in its later die state by the formation of the radial die crack from the rim at 3:30.
