A heavy die dot shows in the field to the right of the nose.



Die gouges show at the rim above GOD.



A die scratch points southward from the R of LIBERTY.



A straight die gouge inside the left wheat lines parallels the lines.




A small die gouge/break shows in the upper right wheat lines.



A die crack runs N-S through the bottom of the T of CENT.



Die scratches show in the C of CENT and in the UN of UNITED.
