Louisiana Gold Variety LFRQ-1

Pick-Up Points
On the obverse, stars bookend the top of the middle ("P" initial) leaf. The other LFRQ obverse is the 10 Stars
variety. Also, the "pellet" within the "P" initial has a rectangular shape. The "common" LFRQ obverse has a
squarish pellet within the "P" initial.
On the reverse, the first U in LOUISIANA is entered too high, relative to the nearby letter I. Also noteworthy,
the fraction bar is thicker than seen on the "common" reverse.
