Rev. R     STATESOFAMERICA as one word

Les - Below center stand of D

Obv.  Date is crude.  The 1 is missing its base and has a blunt top serif point.  The 8 has thin upper and lower loop edges on the left and thick upper and lower loop edges on right.  The 2 has a filled top and bottom, and a shortened base.  The 9 is made of thin lines with no knob end on the bottom loop.  The stars have uneven points, more noticeably with stars 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9 through 13.

Rev.  STATESOFAMERICA as one word.  Uneven legend letters with many letters incomplete or having enlarged serifs and / or stands.  Additionally in the legend, the U is elongated in UNITED,  and the second A in AMERICA is smaller.  The 50 C. is made of very thin lines with the C and the period widely spaced.  The segments around the edge have needle shaped ends instead of being rounded.
