Quickfinder Notes: There is a simple way to distinguish the Old Reverse die from the New Reverse die. Just look at the "O" in "OF". The Old Reverse has an OVAL "O", while the New Reverse has a ROUND "O". The branch mint issue of San Francisco uses the Old Reverse die (none were minted at Charlotte or Dahlonega in 1861). The 1861 Old Reverse issue is very rare compared to the New Reverse and carries a hefty premium.
