I start with the die crack to the right of the first A in GRATIA. Next, the G of GRATIA and the CA of CANADA have doubling. So it looks like 52a for the Obv. On the Rev I struggle. The condition of the coin is poor. I see no die cracks. The Vine at leaf 2 looks repaired, leaf 7 could be medium or is it a wide gap?, and leaf 9 I can't figure at all. 52a is paired with 3 Rev's. I am thinking it isn't J11 because the die cracks are not there and the 5 doesn't have that dramatic doubling. Could be J11a but the coin is so corroded at leaf 7 I can't confirm or exclude a die crack. That leaves J11b as my most likely candidate. PC59-183 Looking forward to your comments!

I don't use the Haxby site, except to look at specific questions that folks have. I could be out in left field, but I always have better luck looking at specific well-offset doublings.

Viper has a higher grade example. Report this Post to the Staff
