<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 2485782, member: 21705&quot;]I think I have a good candidate for this coin. The 1798 S-162 appears to match all the key points I was looking at and the latest die state described (III) has a crack developing on the reverse from the rim to the ribbon. There is no mention of an obverse crack or CUD. But I think I see what might be a crack from the rim to the ribbon and then continuing to the stem and curving under the U to a point between the leaf and the left base of (U)N on the reverse. There might also be a secondary crack from the rim through the left upright of the U to the original crack. If this is a terminal state not previously noted, it could explain the retirement of both the obverse and reverse dies.</p><p><br /></p><p>As always, this requires some verification. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also note that I have not checked further for other alternatives beyond the S-162 through the end of the series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
