CarrsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 756 Posts	Posted 10/26/2022 8:56 pm definitely 1819 n-6. the 10th star is high on the hair bun. the leaf tip is nearly centered under the second s in states. regarding the 14th star - its not a die defect. its got to be some sort of post mint damage. my best guess is that something got stuck on the coin and then the coin sat in a corrosive environment. the thing stuck to the coin protected the copper under it and left the coin with a funny bump. fun coin.
