<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2110843, member: 11786&quot;]I picked up this nice example of this variety the other day. It&#039;s a solid VF without any issues. This variety is paired with two obverse dies. One obverse die has MPDs, which I don&#039;t see on this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8693/16700154488_cfa8605a6b_h.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;star in shield&quot; is still prominent in this grade. Fortunately, the highpoint on the shield, which wears down first, is on the right.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7591/16701638299_9d7165e08d_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s unknown what caused these marks. It would be easiest to damage the die with a sharp tool before it was hardened. Of course it&#039;s best in MS examples, but a lot of the details are there in my coin. I notice that my coin does not have the die crack across the top of the shield.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://indianvarieties.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Slide0000426.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>More info/pics on the 1884 ODD-001 (S-1) are <a href="http://indianvarieties.com/cents/1884-indian-head-penny/1884-odd-001/#prettyPhoto" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://indianvarieties.com/cents/1884-indian-head-penny/1884-odd-001/#prettyPhoto" rel="nofollow">here</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
