    Hello All,

    Found this gem soon after. Obverse, small die break cud on the bottom right. Reverse weak punch in "of... America" with a minor rotation error. Less than 15 degrees looks like. This is the first Die Break I found and own. How exciting! Cheers!

    Nice cud!

    The weak "O" is probably the result of a grease filled die. Since all of the lettering (except for pre-90's mintmarks) is on the working die, it is impossible for just one letter to be weakly struck.

    I just noticed that I made a mistake, and it is too late to edit my earlier post.

    "Since all of the lettering is on the working die, it is impossible for just one letter to be weakly struck."

    The reference to pre-90's mintmarks was not needed.
