    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Well, I can't see the 3/2 in your pictures, but the die crack looks good.

    A pic redo would be nice, I can't see the 3/2 either. Thanks, and good luck.

    masterswimmer A Caretaker, can't take it with me

    No doubt in my mind you've scored yourself a home run there.

    @SensibleSal66's enlargement of the date shows the die crack running through the 3, and the underlying 2. The full obverse pic also shows and confirms the die crack running from the 'D to the W' in IGWT. Additionally, it shows the die crack from the top of the left wreath to the cross.

    All the markers are present IMO.

    Care to share who and what the grade is?

    PCGS AU-55 - won on heritage last night in the Tuesday/Wednesday auction. Once I get the coin I will use my scope to see what additional closeups of the date I can get. First unattributed one I have seen on heritage in while. Usually any variety I recognize on heritage gets bid up. I usually end up getting out bid and sometimes I think they go for more than if they were attributed.
