I'm watching this and I was wondering whether there was a Die Crack connecting TE and also possibly from the bottom left of D underneath NIT to another crack from the rim through I to the inner leaf under N. Or is this just damage? It could be a new, later die state than previously described and might offer support for the Clapp 14c-Ld in ANS. There is dispute whether the extensive cracks through the LEGEND are real or from a resin coating with Noyes on the resin/glue side. ps I have almost never heard the term spalling in descriptions, but the term is used in almost every die state description of both the obverse and reverse. S-157 btw.
Let me rephrase something from the post. I should have said disagreement rather than dispute over whether the Clapp 14c-Ld in ANS is a Real Die State or PMD. Friends can disagree while a dispute implies a more adversarial position. I also note this might be a Die State between IV and the Clapp ANS piece. Since I have not seen the described piece, I assume "extensive breaks in the LEGEND" are probably more numerous than the subject piece with it's possible break at connecting the bottom of TE(D). In any event, I still haven't seen much of a market premium besides myself for rare die states unless it's spectacular.
Has anybody figured out how to access the ANS photos? I have tried numerous times and wind up frustrated trying to do what should be a simple search.
