The Longacre design with stars combined with the 'Standard Silver' reverse of 1870. The obverse on this die shows 22 stars on the flag and is often called the obverse of 1870 although this one does not have Longacre's name in the right corner. This was apparently implemented by William Barber as Longacre died in 1869.
These were believe sold as part of complete sets from the half dime to the silver dollar although they are rarer with this obverse than the one used on J1133/P1270. To view the set, click here.
