collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 12:39 pm Received this coin yesterday, I had it posted in the grading forum. There is what I would call an extra berry in the laurel wreath at the top of the wreath between the forehead and the top leaves just below the I in DEI. There a few other things as well die cracks and dots on the reverse as well. Edited by collector67 07/11/2012 12:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Golden Nickel Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 1:36 pm 1 extra berry boosts the price ten cents. I need to start paying more atention to these things! Report this Post to the Staff
collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 07/11/2012 1:53 pm Not sure if it boosts the price, just showing what may be a possible new variety and seeing if some other collectors have come accross one before. Report this Post to the Staff

lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 05/06/2015 02:34 am Would die crack anomalous berries constitute a new variety ?---What about gas bubbles of the die? I guess not, because they are environmental freaks like clashing and chips. Report this Post to the Staff
