    Unlike the first example I posted, this one was struck as the 1809 die employed was already heavily broken.

    Such coins are not easy to grade as it is hard to distinguish how much of the apparent wear is circulation wear, and how much is due to the broken die sinking in areas, on both obverse and reverse.

    Give it a try! let me know what you think.

    Thanks!

    I am posting for comparison the 1st example I posted which was struck from fresh dies.
