1. HCMM Catalog Number and Dies Making Up This Die Pair

2. Other Die Pairs That Include One of the Dies of BUC-220A

This is the scarcest of the three die pairs known involving reverse R220, quite possibly because the only example we have seen is from an obverse die that was near catastrophic failure (note the large die crack across the lower portion). If this crack developed early the mintage from this die pair could be quite low. Because the crack on the known example is so large, we have labeled this state 220A.5, to allow for at least two earlier states.
