The second picture show the two MASSIVE die cracks (and susequent depressions as the die pieces shifted height) on the reverse, one from A in STATES to the E in AMERICA, and one from the left (eagle's right) wing to the T in CENTS. The third picture shows the amount of rotation relative to the obverse. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
