<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 24571844, member: 104064"][USER=73995]@Pickin and Grinin[/USER] Good eye. There are 2 coins on Heritage (a 3rd is a duplicate sold twice). Both have that die scratch. There are several other distinct features on the reverse. The D in United has a tiny line under it, E in America has a light line protruding at lower left, last A has a tiny bit protruding lower right - I believe these are all alignment mark remnants from positioning the letters. The I in United exhibits slight rotated doubling lower right. There's a raised lump on the leaf nearest the star next to Half on both. I could do images of these features but I don't think it's worth it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Look closely at the T in United on OP coin - it's garbage. No proof pattern from the mint is going to be such junk (in my not so humble opinion). Look at the border between denticles and rim. On the Heritage examples it's exact and sharp.
