I recently purchased a different specimen of this variety. The die gouge and odd beads through RIBU immediately jumped out at me. I believe this might be an early die state example, because the die gouge that produced the beads is still visible below RIBU. In middle die state, the thinner gouge has disappeared. Slight lamination on the bottom obverse, common on silver War Nickels.
