vf20. looks like an end state failing obverse die at 3 o'clock.
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

What you're seeing at the 3:00 position is part of the die clash, as well as the lines coming off the left wing, one going northwest, and one going southwest.

Looks like a corresponding issue on the Rev as well at 9:00 near the rim?

I sold this coin to him, it is very nice, the reverse probably has a little bit of a lamination error.

Very nice and original VF-20. Technically, this coin has no Cuds. It's obverse die was clashed with a seated half. This is an overlay I believe produced by Rick Snow to show how it was made.  |

bandsdean, yes, that's from Rick Snow. Something about the mule clashes on the FE's I like. I think it's the story behind them. I'm looking for the other 2 clashes, and they are hard to come by, and expensive!
