Characteristics are described with a degree of granularity intended for die identification more so than for die classification. A characteristic may not span the entire die progression. Thus, not all characteristics may be present in any one coin.

This coin has die cracks similar to a 2B, but does not have the die breaks and field displacement at NITED a 2B does.

Comment. Coin #3. Die crack positioning are those of a VAM-2B. However, the breaks and displacement shown on an LDS VAM-2B are not evident.
