Reported by: George Allegado

Comments: Recently an EMDS specimen was examined and it proved conclusively that this variety is the result of damage to the die and NOT from an errant S mintmark punch.  The coin and photo was pass around to the die variety attributers and it was their unanimous decision to delist this variety from their files.
