So-Called Dollars
scattered spots of dark tarnish on the obverse (which is pictured
as the reverse in the 2
nd
edition book.) Jeff Shevlin, the So-Called
Dollar Guy, informs us that he has identified no less than 5
different die varieties on the TER CENTENNIAL side and at
least 7 different die varieties on the other. These have yet to
be fully documented so that we can attached catalog numbers to
them. This and the following two examples will be differentiated
by the relationship of the 7 in the date 1907 to the letters above
in SHIP VIRGINIA. We won’t even attempt to differentiate the
variations in the other side. This example has the 7 underneath
the V of VIRGINIA. (F)

EF-45. The reverse suffers from a series of field abrasions above
the building. The second edition description is in error when it
states that “Manufactures is misspelled Manufacturfs, A closed
examination with a glass of the “F” reveals that it is in fact an “E”
with the bottom foot of the “E” very weakly struck. In the word
below, the last letter, “G” suffers from a similar defect. (F-G)
