CD 160 - Type I, Mold 10

Color: Blue Aqua
Base Type: CDP:n

 

General Features: Lettering is generally strong with both rounded and triangular edges. On front, LYNCHBURG is strong with triangular edges while the L logo is much weaker with rounded edges; H is slightly larger. Front lettering is about 6 mm from the base. On reverse, NO. 32 is weaker with 3 lower than 2; MADE IN U.S.A. is strong with triangular edges. This mold was reworked three times, first to reshape the crown and wire groove, CD 160 II, Mold 10, and then to further reshape the crown top, CD 160 II, Mold 10.1 and CD 160 II, Mold 10.2.

Mold Number Location: On reverse centered below NO. 32.
