kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 02:27 am Looks like a badly broken die to me. Look at how far offset the denticles are at around 4:00. Obverse die is about to shatter too. Interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 02:49 am Late die state that shows many interesting cracks. You've got a Retained Cud on the reverse, a few hefty die cracks on the obverse, and some die clashes. Too bad there are distracting spots, this is a good looking coin otherwise.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94892 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 08:05 am Over all, not too bad looking of a coin, I see 2 very nice die cracks on the obverse, and a very nice Retained Cud on the reverse with some movement of the design elements. I'm fairly confident that this coin would be close to one of the last ones to be struck by these die pairs. Cuds on Coins might have this listed - if not, then I would submit it.
