<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 969182, member: 21705&quot;]I believe it&#039;s a damaged die since there is a match behind the head as well and not through the head itself which is lower on the die. The die was just about to fail as the break goes rim to rim.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a worn example with the same late state die marks from HA.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1143&amp;Lot_No=9323#Photo" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1143&amp;Lot_No=9323#Photo" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1143&amp;Lot_No=9323#Photo</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Oops! same coin.

It may be the last die state of the variety as the breaks under OF have multiplied to go along with the additional failures on the obverse than typically found.</p><p><br /></p><p>This could be a die state rarity, though I don&#039;t know if that carries a premium like it does for early copper.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
