What's going on in front (and on) the cap? Looks like stray metal or damage? Otherwise a solid VF piece.

Good question BH1964. There seems to be so much more detail in the pictures. I hadn't noticed. It looks as though it could be solder.   |

It looks like die cracks and rim Cud's on both the obverse and reverse. I like it, vf30 |

VF30 as well. Looks like a late die state with all of the die cracks. I am a fan.

@Classic Coins Thanks for the link. I searched JR-3 and found the following quote from this link: Quote:
John Reich 3 ~ Outside point of star 7 very close to denticle. Reverse with the I in PLURIBUS centered under the second T in STATES. Rarity 3.
Struck from the third use of this obverse die after 1830 JR.1 and 1830 JR.2. The obverse cracked across the top while striking 1830 JR.2, from the rim through star 7, across the cap to the rim at right. New obverse cracks then developed from star 8 to star 9 to the rim, joining the outer points of stars 1 to 6, the inner points of stars 1 to 7, and the inner points of stars 8 to 12. The reverse die cracked from the rim through the tops of NITE and back to the rim, from the rim through the top of A in STATES to the R in PLURIBUS, then through the tops of IC joining the rim at left and right. Sounds like a match to me. |

The grade came back as XF40. That seems a bit generous, but I'll accept it.  |
