The O-109a subvariety is partly defined by the die crack from the E in UNITED over the top of STATES, making ldhair&#039;s attribution correct. This is more common than the earlier uncracked O-109, but as an honest R.3 not exactly &quot;common.&quot; I read an auction writeup at Heritage where the writer claimed that these were easily found and all the Condition Census examples were Mint State, yet they&#039;ve never actually offered a Mint State example....</p><p><br /></p><p>It values at a significant premium to the more common 1807 varieties, but not greater than some others (O-110a for example).
