This obverse die is different from those of items 2001-2004. The reverse is the same as numbers 2001 and 2003, as well as 2006. When examining coins to determine die states and emission sequences, both obverse and reverse must be considered together. When a die was no longer serviceable, it would be replaced with a new die or perhaps a recently refinished die. The opposing die would remain in the press to form a new die marriage. A connected group or chain of varieties would result as long as only one or the other die was replaced.
