[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1831995, member: 21705"]I'm with Dave4dawg with the attribution except I'd say terminal die state because a crack or chip or notably strong clash mark develops late from the point where the neck meets the bust almost to the crack of state VI at almost a 90 degree angle and I think I see evidence of that (not mentioned in Breen but observed on a similar terminal state example) while the rim crumbling over I(C) cannot be seen due to wear. I'm not certain that the "damage" in the right obverse field is all post mint either. It may be a more advanced state of deterioration in the terminal die state. A previously unseen CUD similar to that on Sheldon's Obv 9 of 1797? Maybe? Maybe not. It's hard to tell in this condition. But look closely at the comp coin in the same location as this coin's "damage." This is the one I found. [url]http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=1174&lotNo=3202#Photo[/url][/QUOTE]
