    I should have been more specific in regards to what was odd about the reverse. No question on it. Just sharing it as it took me a couple of seconds to realize the “ON” of “ONE” was absent.

    An oddity I’ll hold on to.

    ????? UK? With Lincoln’s Head and the sheaves of wheat on the reverse?

    Not necessarily a filled die but possibly just a weak strike, enhanced by circulation wear. The 1914 S wheat is probably the hardest of the early wheats to find in MS.
