It would have to be the turkey buzzard since I have a friend that will call me a turkey from time to time and his daughter calls me an old buzzard.

I think we has to open a discussion here about the stages and the point to classify. We go by the all coin or just by the variety we find.?
Well If I understand the question correctly this one is Stage A at VV based on images and description at the site.
From VV:
" Stage A: Obverse is EDS .....Reverse is LDS"
" Stage B (unconfirmed) .....Reverse die changed - EDS (unconfirmed)"
"Stage C- Obv- Light die crack on forehead - LDS .....Reverse is MDS"
I included the image of UNUM to show that the reverse is a late die state, like the images for a "Stage A" coin.
CC- This example does show the concentric die lines under the point of the bust that CC shows for a MDS coin and CC images barely show the curve along the edge of the 9.
I was able to find multiple examples online. Some showed the die issues in the "triangle" and some did not. The die anomalies are not very deep or strong.
None of the VV images showed the die anomalies. The lack of the die anomalies might be the result of lighting or the anomalies might be the result of damage to the die (polishing, Damage, clash, etc., but I do not think the anomalies are the result of
Die Deterioration.
Thanks for your interest and I hope I touched on what you were asking about.
EDIT- Here is an image of the obverse near the rim to show that the obverse is close to being EDS.
