It's the die variety 1-B, the most common marriage. Your coin is Obverse 1 with the diagnostic being the A in DOLLAR is lower and leaning left. The reverse of your coin is Reverse A with the diagnostic being the first lower leaf is directly over the 1 in the date. So your coin is die marriage Duvall 1-A.
