It is possible this indicates an interrupted die marriage like the S-76 and the S-265 where the pairing was interrupted by the use of a new die or dies before the pairing is restored with more advanced die deterioration.</p><p><br /></p><p>The latest S-221s show a break, then CUD over TA which is obscured by wear, but not enough to hide the final die states. This coin appears to be a middle state of the reverse of S-221.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
