Check the eagle's beak area for die rust, other areas are noted in the article on this pattern issue, and should clarify if this was a Restrike (circa June 1859-1863) or an Original. One notable 1838 J-84 restrike studied has the undertype of a previously 1859 Liberty Seated silver dollar which helped to pinpoint the striking of the J-84 restrikes.
