I'm not much in to errors, so wait for someone with knowledge and interest in that topic. But wanted to comment the images are great!

Well this would be a first to see die cracks on an ASE. But then this is a bullion, and the die may have been worked to death producing as many as they could.

Nice Die Crack and Die Chips.  I've never seen them on a ASE before.
Errers and Varietys.

@Gilly, thank you for that. I was worried, maybe because it was late they started looking blurry to me...:)

Thank you @Jbuck I thought they were interesting first time I had more than one of anything like this, and it's extremely hard to keep the photos separated or numbered.
Thank you @Errers and Varietys, and @Marve65....:)
I did have a question about something on one or two of them but I see that part I must have had to clip to get them to fit.
I'll see if I can post it without the writing that's taking up all the kb...:)

I agree, the last image is showing the crenelated appearance of the reeds from another ASE. And I forgot that the Star privy was restricted to a somewhat limited production of half a million coins, however the mint most likely treats bullion coin less carefully than they would proofs and uncirculated, where collectors want 'pristine' or 'perfect' coins.

They sure didtn't use the same dies 500k strikes. On the 2008 rev 2007, which admittedly was Uncirculated, not bullion, didn't they say they use those dies 50k times/ strikes? I'd bet bullion isn't any different, a strike is a strike.

You just need an app to reduce the file size, which doesn't remove any of the image, just makes it smaller. Limit is 300kb per image. The one I use is just called "Image Compressor". Not hard to deal with once you're used to it. Lots of ads, but not hard to deal with/bypass. I definitely had a hard time getting on the groove.

If this is a limited edition ASE as you say, then the quality control that handled this coin was horrible at it...

as stated,Collector's versions, with a mint mark are handled differently, I can only imagine how many bullion strikes they get per die, ...  Looks like a Sweet Die break from Over Striking, .... Reed Marks, Not so Sure..... Thanks for Sharing
