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-2, the uppermost star is over the peak of Mt. Hood. Compare with OMRH-1,
which has the uppermost star left of the peak of Mt. Hood.
