I did follow up, and I think you may enjoy some comparisons.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, here is my obverse die marker on the left vs. ODD-003 on the right. Although the upper mark is less visible in the reference photos, it is present on both coins. (Edit: I actually think this is a die clash mark from the interior curve of the C, and also that it might be more pronounced on the reference coin, as if there was another clash in the interim.)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]737929[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse appears to be an earlier die state. The N is almost identical, but on my coin there is no chip on the bottom right. Ergo, it was an impression before the die deteriorated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]737935[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the die scratch present on the reference photo is missing on my example.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]737937[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, my example has a weak strike at the bottom of the obverse and top of the reverse (I assume the dies were not quite parallel) so the denticles are poorly formed.
