paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/28/2019 9:55 pm Another random "lucky" find from a lot of Large Cents. Probably cleaned at some point, and with lots of wear, but the obverse has some neat cracks and die chips!

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/29/2019 9:19 pm Viper, looks like yours is a very late die state and mine is probably one state before based on the size of the die chips at E1 and A2 obverse. The crack and chip at I1 and N1 are about the same, and the die crack through EI GRA on your example is noticeably more prominent than on my coin. On both coins the crack through the beads below IA DE is similar as well. The rims and dentition on your coin also show more advanced crumbling and deterioration. I spotted another crack looking at yours which is also on mine from the rim up through C in CANADA out to the beads. Like SPP notes, I can't help but wonder how many more strikes they got out of those dies before they finally collapsed or broke.
