<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1652187, member: 66"]There is no cud. And that is the C from CENT just east of 6 o;clock. The ED in the wreath are the ED of UNITED. The coin was first struck off-center and then struck a second time properly centered. The fields of the second strike have flattened most of the details, but have left the ED in the wreath and most of the C of CENT just east of 6 o'clock. It looks like there may also be traces of the first S of states in the field below the EN of CENT, and possibly something in the wreath below E in AMERICA. OK now that I can blow up the picture I can see the S in the field, the T in the N of ENT, part of the A in the T (It is pretty messed up) and most of the second T in the wreath below the E. What he was taking for a cud at 6 o'clock is actually the leaf cluster from below NIT. As for why the extra wreath doesn't extend through AMERICA, it does. Look at the right side of the R in AMERICA, that is the outer leaf of the cluster below ES.</p><p><br /></p><p>I only see two strikes, I'm not sure why there is apparently nothing on the obverse other than the indentation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
