Dearborn Moderator United States 95517 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 7:38 pm Nice set of die cracks! (is that MD or doubling I see on the motto?) Collecting since 1972.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73984 Posts	Posted 08/22/2023 8:35 pm Nice Die Cracks! Also, you might have a Retained Cud going on too. I am also seeing doubling as well, maybe Machine Doubling? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

southsav Pillar of the Community 2223 Posts	Posted 08/23/2023 07:11 am Thank you folks! I'm not sure what to call that doubling, doubling or MD? You're right, those are missed cracks also. I'll have to edit my photos. Retained Cud, you mean at 4 o'clock? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/02/2023 07:05 am There are several more cracks on the obv that aren't indicated as well. I also like how blatantly obvious the added leaf on the upper right luster is on this piece. Edited by Conder101 09/02/2023 07:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
southsav Pillar of the Community 2223 Posts	Posted 09/03/2023 1:51 pm Thanks Conder, I just read up on that added leaf variety. I'll have to update my obverse photo noting that leaf and the cracks I did not point out. Report this Post to the Staff

southsav Pillar of the Community 2223 Posts	Posted 09/11/2023 10:14 pm http://goccf.com/t/451785#3910832 Didn't think about that but I believe you may be correct, the reverse and the obverse. Thanks smoker Report this Post to the Staff
