The large die chips and oval die crack are an indication of older dies. Die deterioration gets more pronounced the closer the device is to the periphery of a coin. (&quot;Poor mans doubled die&quot; is a good example of die deterioration.) But the extra curve below her ear is not die deterioration or a die crack. </p><p><br /></p><p>Modern minting (single squeeze) methods tend to make die doubling show up more towards the center of the dies, which is where this is located. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wasn&#039;t able to capture it but the extra hoop almost touches the primary hoop at about 9:00.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
