First star about as close to 1 as 7 is to 9. Most early die states show striking weakness at the centers.The obverse had the head of Miss Liberty deeply impressed into the die, causing it to be in slightly higher relief than other varieties of the year; because of this, the hair details wore away quickly as the coins circulated.

Two berries under first T in STATES, one on inside and one on outside of wreath. With four leaves below first S of STATES. All specimens showed a fine die crack from end of left stem downward.
