Pick-Up Points

OMRH-1 and OMRH-2 were struck from the same die pair. After the OMRH-1 mountain was excessively lapped, a private mint worker re-engraved the mountain on the obverse die to create OMRH-2.
On OMRH-1, the uppermost star is west of the peak of Mt. Hood. Compare with OMRH-2, which has the uppermost star over the peak of Mt. Hood.
