MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2001 Posts	Posted 03/12/2025 4:59 pm Nice looking early half. Congrats! O-103 is correct with the die crack on the reverse but I have no idea about the dot at the date. Edited by MisterT 03/12/2025 5:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16806 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 12:00 am Is the dot an actual raised lump on the coin, or just a dot-shaped hole in the toning? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/18/2025 11:28 am The white dot is a toning or color splotch. I love the look of this coin, and the early die state. Quote: O-103 is correct with the die crack on the reverse That is actually not a die crack. Theory is that it was foreign material struck through the hub and working die.
