These were struck from two reverse dies as follows:

Nickel with short dentils and low wreath on reverse J676/P753 and is the example illustrated above and the first image below. It is fairly common with several dozen known.

Nickel with long dentils and centered wreath on reverse J676/P755 and appears to be far rarer than the first with only about a dozen confirmed. It is the second example illustrated below.



Copper J677/P756 with only 2 known.

1) Brenner-1914 ANS exhibit (where described as longer dentilation on reverse), Brand (journal #92500:815a)

2) Low 3/1900, Brand (journal #21145) with reverse not mentioned.

One of these later appeared in Kagin's 9/52, 5/57 and 12/65 sales.

Note: P754 with short dentilation is unconfirmed in copper.
