It's not in John Wright's book... has anyone seen another?

Oldgrouchyguy Pillar of the Community United States 630 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 11:30 am There also appears to be a die break between Stars 11-12, also unlisted, as well as a completely formed annular ring around the stars Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 4:53 pm That appears to be a stain or planchet impurity discoloration. Viewing die cracks on middle and late date large cents are hard enough. At this low of a grade, it is too difficult. I don't think anyone can make a certain conclusion on stars 11-12.

I tried to show the Star crack to its advantage; it's evident in hand. By this time the dies were like silly putty, and the crack is a soft raised line between the stars within the swelling-and that's the only place something like that appears within the stars. Maybe it will scan... Edited by Oldgrouchyguy 03/03/2025 9:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
