SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/31/2013 7:36 pm Holy cow, that's cool. The die is trashed. Note the rim from about Noon to the middle of the area you detailed - I almost wonder if the die was a Retained Cud for that whole section. It's definitely disconnected for the area in your detail, and I'm inclined to think the "blank" area as completely gone from the die. Report this Post to the Staff

The Three Cent coins: The American equivalent of Maundy coinage. Diminutive, scarce as a group, and very interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 10:11 am Thanks for the responses. I had to have this one because I was amazed at the strike and grade considering the state of the die. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 5:16 pm The only thing that disturbs me is that NOTHING is showing on the reverse. BUT at the same time I can't account for the obverse EXCEPT for a failing die. Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/01/2013 5:18 pm BTW that's a well struck reverse. Generally there's significant weakness in the first "I" of "III". Report this Post to the Staff
