Hello Everyone! I've had this for a while, and I can't find another with the rimbreak at ATE on the reverse. It's not in John Wright's book... has anyone seen another? Thank You all for your time

There also appears to be a die break between Stars 11-12, also unlisted, as well as a completely formed annular ring around the stars

That appears to be a stain or planchet impurity discoloration.

Viewing die cracks on middle and late date large cents are hard enough. At this low of a grade, it is too difficult. I don't think anyone can make a certain conclusion on stars 11-12.
Suffering from bust half fever.

jacrispies: No, that's definitely not a stain; nothing organic remains on the coin. It rises off the rim.

I tried to show the Star crack to its advantage; it's evident in hand. By this time the dies were like silly putty, and the crack is a soft raised line between the stars within the swelling-and that's the only place something like that appears within the stars. Maybe it will scan...
