VF Details.</B></I> B-7, BB-18, R.3. The plug is evident as a faint irregular circular line at the obverse center. Bolender-7 appears to be the variety most often found with a silver plug, which were added to the planchet by mint workers prior to the strike. Likely, mint policy changed shortly later, and underweight planchets were melted instead of brought up to standard weight with a silver plug. The present blue-gray example is dull from a cleaning, but no repair is readily evident. The L and B in LIBERTY exhibit slight granularity.
