Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/07/2016 4:48 pm Yes it is a die crack. It isn't diagnostic for the variety though as it doesn't appear until Die Stage V. I can't tell if it has progressed to Stage VII. There is a second crack through the E in STATES but it isn't as visible on you coin. It shows up on Die Stage II so it is seen on almost all examples of the variety. The diagnostic feature, a die flaw though the left side of the O in OF is present but not easily visible due to the condition of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 10:12 am No S-26 is a pretty common variety for 1794. There is a second variety of 1794 that has a very similar die crack through the S, S-32. The 32 isn't a particularly scarce variety either. Quick way to tell S-26 and S-32 apart are the berries below the M. S-26 has two berries, one inside and one outside the wreath, S-32 has one outside the wreath. This is a late die stage S-32 showing the crack very well and the single berry below the M. (There are other differences too.) Edited by Conder101 04/11/2016 10:18 am Report this Post to the Staff
