<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1306000, member: 18157&quot;]Hi Lucy,</p><p><br /></p><p>The die cracks are a bit lighter on the Obverse than the Reverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the Obverse, there&#039;s a crack from the bottom of the bust, down the middle of the [1]866 to the rim. On the left side, there are two (2) cracks coming from the rim at about 9:30; one that joins with the UNITE[D] and across the tops of the letters in UNITED, the other joins the bottom of <strike>TATES, them extends across the top of S[TATE]S. There&#039;s another crack from the rim above [O]F extending down to the O[F]. The entire field is crumbling above the headdress between STATES and OF.</strike></p><p><strike><br /></strike></p><p><strike>On the Reverse, there are two (2) rather large die cracks and a crumbling rim about 2:00. The die cracks run across the tops of the leaves so they may blend in a bit. The one on the left begins at the rim about 9:00 and runs downward, across the edge of the leaves to about 7:30, then rejoins the rim with a thin crack that runs back up to the rim. The crack on the right begins from the rim near 2:00 (about where the rim is crumbling), it runs down the edge of the leaves and rejoins the rim about 3:30.</strike></p><p><strike><br /></strike></p><p><strike>I wish you could see it &quot;in hand&quot;...the pictures really don&#039;t do it justice. Some folks consider late dies state coin as damaged, but I find them fascinating. I collect half cents and enjoy finding their various die varieties (especially the 1804 Cohen-6). Thanks for asking! :cheers:</strike>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
