Near TOP POP. For DPL, finest is graded in MS 62. This is the rare error variety with height misspelled HEIGTH. There are two obverse die varieties, one has the word HEIGHT spelled correctly and the other spelled HEIGTH. This Ferris Wheel die and the Administration Building die are not found paired with any other dies. Both dies are unsigned but were likely engraved by Childs, as the Administration Building is almost identical to SH 6-134 which was engraved by Childs. The Ferris Wheel had a capacity of 2,160 persons.
