    Hello All,

    Was looking for a little help with this 1807. It has some characteristics from a couple of varieties which aren't supposed to go together. The obverse has the die cud under the 7 like the O-114 but also has a few die cracks. The reverse of the coin is riddled with cracks like the O-113a

    Any Ideas on the variety?

    Thanks
    Ben

    I received some info earlier. It's an O-114, late die-state R-3. The cracks are simply because the die was failing.

    Ben:
    Agreed, the die cracks don't match the O-113, apparently they should add an O-114a, which designates the die state.
    Nice find, and tough to id. If the regular is R-3, then this should be an R-4 or better.
