[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 1091888, member: 21705"]This turns out to NOT be the familiar S-224, but the S-223 where the leaf is under the right foot of the left upright. On a slightly better example you could make out the 000 in the fraction. Now this particular coin is interesting because the die state is a transition between State 5 and the very rare die state 6. The coin is cracked along the edges between the bust tip and the rims where the CUD will soon develop. Cracks at this location are not mentioned in state 5 and state 6 already had a fully developed CUD. On the reverse, the die crack on the left of the fraction and on through the stem seems more developed than even the state 6 example, but that is probably due to wear.
