<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 3034857, member: 73983&quot;]Thank you all for the wonderful comments.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=20480]@ToughCOINS[/USER] I have looked over the coin, it seems to be a fairly early die state.&nbsp; The incredible texture in the fields on the reverse and obverse are actually part of the coins original design.&nbsp; When Barber made the changes to the Type 2 design modifications, part of those modifications were to smooth out the fields to help the metal flow better during the striking process.&nbsp; The Type 1 design has such an appeal to me because of the rough and almost medallic look.&nbsp; Someday when I win the lottery I will buy a Type 1 Proof. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=81463]@Petercoin[/USER] I&#039;m not seeing the extra metal near the 9 that you are referring to.&nbsp; There is a very small strike through impression just inside the lower loop of the 9 if that is what you are referring to?&nbsp; Also, where is the crack that you see?</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=73995]@Pickin and Grinin[/USER] the doubled die that you refer to is another that I always look for.&nbsp; Unfortunately this one is not that variety.</p><p><br /></p><p>This particular coins is one of the many in my collection, that I not only bought for the coin, but also the holder. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If any of you would also like to guess the holder, go for it.&nbsp; If you have already guessed, feel free to edit your guesses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
