1852 N-6 (has all the diagnostics nicely visible!)

Very interesting paralyse, thank you!

I'm curious what the diagnostics are for this variety?

1. Dot underneath eye (obverse)
2. 1 in 1856 embedded in bust
3. Reverse rim defect from approx. 12:00 to 1:00

#2 applies to N-6 and N-7 but #1 and #3 are exclusive to N-6, if I recall correctly. It's a common variety (R2), but in later die stages the reverse goes downhill quick. Grellman attributed a TDS example with about 1/4 of the reverse gone (lamination peel from the rim break.)
