    Also notice there appears to be a die crack starting at the bust point and ending at the diamonds

    Never heard of it but I'm assuming its a type of NAV doubling but from over 100 years ago due to a worn die strike?

    I don't believe it's listed by Snow. Looks like profile doubling to me. No extra value but a fun coin to own.

    I would grade it as MS-62. I like it. Nice coin.

    I would stay away from anything with spots. Too many nice coins out there to pick from.

    I checked Snow's 3rd edition (latest) and don't see a listing for an obverse doubling of the profile.

    I also don't see the die crack but maybe that's just the photo.

    The cud is pretty cool.
