You also have a few nice die crack as well.and not sure what that lump is in between the bay 3 and 4 upper part.could be a clash or a die dent Edited by Chase007 04/20/2025 8:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10472 Posts	Posted 04/20/2025 9:19 pm Obverse fingerprint, die crack on ~~obverse~~ reverse shows it's been struck on tired/overused dies. Funny, looks like Abe's nose in the bay of the reverse. Nice but still only worth 1¢ Edited by Marv65 04/21/2025 3:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dies generally don't start cracking until they have been well-use, so this reverse die is not fresh.
