CAP PLATE, 1814-1825(?)

_USNM 60314-M (S-K 70). Figure 105._

[Illustration: FIGURE 105]

This is a die variant of the three plates immediately preceding.

However, the center device lacks the fineness of detail of the others,

a fact that suggests that several makers working with different die

sinkers produced this basic pattern. The plate is struck in copper,

and originally it had a plume socket attached to the reverse. The

present looped-wire fasteners are not original.
