Perhaps someone can do it justice? In the meantime, here's the obverse in MS63. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/24/2010 4:44 pm The dies came together with a small bolt between the dies. The spike on the chin was caused by the head of the bolt damaging the obv die and you can see on the coin posted by DVCollector the damage done to the obv die by the threads of the bolt.
