There is so much going on for varieties. This was another variety found in my recent group of OBW rolls. (It isn't on Cuds-on-coins.) I found 5 pieces, so far, in the first three rolls. The interior die break is located on the right side of the building, between the two corners. As a marker, the upper left part of the building seems to be slightly filled with grease because the details are very weak. Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy. ps. The closeup of the die break shows a "darkness" shaped like "Mothman" reaching towards the leg of the "R". It is actually a highly reflective area that would have been on the die. It is on all the examples I found. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 02/04/2025 04:28 am Thanks everyone. There was so much going on in 1983 at the mint. There is some slight die progression on the five coins I found. As I go through more rolls, I'll share the progression if I find more difference in the break.
