I thought the apparently broken center of the 3 would help identify it, but I can't. Thoughts? Edited by indian_hoarder 09/15/2022 04:44 am Report this Post to the Staff

indian_hoarder Pillar of the Community United States 5079 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 04:05 am Thank you both. When stated this is an EDS, is there any premium on that, or the doubling on the chin? Lastly, am I correct in my assumption that this 110 in later die state became the 110a? Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 09/16/2022 3:56 pm An EDS is merely a descriptive term and adds no premium unless it is a rare die state. I personally prefer more EDS as type coins, because they have full dentils, usually stronger in strike, and the details are sharper. You are correct in that there is an O-110a, but that isn't the case for every marriage. This particular marriage turns into the "a" die state when a die chip appears in the 3, creating the "ugly 3". The doubling on the chin is just a cool factor with no premium because they are most common in 1823. It is called a doubled profile, and caused when the planchet or die shifts in the striking chamber. Extreme examples of the doubled profile could have the potential to have a premium.
