That is a very nice DBQ.

The B-2 almost always comes weakly struck at the upper left hand side of the reverse and at the upper middle stars, so much so, that they look like they have more wear than they actually do.
This obverse was also used to create the ultra common B-3 die marriage after the reverse die (Reverse E) began to break up, including heavy rim cuds from D in UNITED to the last S in STATES.
The B-2 is easily attributed due to the broken serif on the T in LIBERTY on the obverse and the last A in AMERICA attached to the C of the denomination, the only reverse showing this, although the reverse on the B-8 is similar (You can only hope that you screw up and find a B-8!)
