Found this one roll searching and I have to share this one. It sure would be nice to see this coin in a high MS. Enjoy the pics.

The OP said it would be nice to see this coin in high MS, not that it was MS.

Sure are a lot of cracks on the columns - pretty unusual.
and Yes, I agree - it would be nice to see these in a high MS coin.

Heres a nice close up of the AM and all the fonts have that grainy worn look. Deffinatly a die passed its life span. There sure are some nice die cracks.
